Hey Guys,

I want to start doing a 12-step phone conference. I have a few questions.

Privacy is sort of hard to come by for me now, so I wouldn't be able to freely talk on the conferences, as much as I want to. People in my house would hear me, and I don't want that now. I could, however, listen in privately. Could I do this?

Thanks Again!

The proper procedure would be to say your name and say that you are not in a private space and will just be listening. Everyone on the call has to identify themselves or it's not safe for the others. That's my thought.

I find that I protect my privacy within recovery way more than when I was in my addiction. Of-course the opposite should be true.

Much Hatzlacha!

Thanks, Serenity! Yeah, I was thinking I would just introduce myself and state that I'm in a private place.
