When you attend a meeting everything is on your time and as you are ready to disclose. However, it is to your advantage to admit you are an addict and need help. This helps in the recovery process. As far as women and men together it has never bothered me. My addiction is the sames as a mans. Adultry, pornography, compulsivness, secrecy, shame, guilt, etc. You don't disclose details of what you did as much as the generic idea that it was done like I just disclosed. If you do recognize anyone there you need to remember that they are there for the same reason as you. We are not to judge but to help others in there recovery. What is said in the room stays in the room. You do not have to tell your last name or give your address to the group unless it is in an introductiory letter letting them know you wish to join their group. That is the only time I can think of a need to disclose. Once you go you will be glad you did. There is a sense of freedom in being able to be yourself and have people know your downfall and still feel loved and accepted. Any other questions just ask.
