I think that her publicist is missing the whole "anonymous" part of Alcoholics Anonymous.
I think that it's great she is going - but to advertise through ones' "publicist" is not exactly embracing humility - a core principle of AA.

I don't think there's a rule in AA that a member can't disclose HIS or HER participation, just can't reveal identify of others in the group.

I agree on both your points. The thing that I take out of this anonymous or otherwise is that she is thinking about drinking and what it is doing to her and how it affects her and those around her.

I think the idea here is to steal the thunder of the NY Post.

It looks to me that the article states she was 'outed' by the New York Post.

I think her publicicst was responding to reports. If a famous actress shows up at AA people will recognize her.
