Most people made quite a name for themselves as full-fledged gamblers by the time they turned to Gamblers Anonymous. Their gambling was not usually a well kept secret. It would then be unusual if the good news of their abstinence from gambling did not cause comment.

Even then, it should be done in such a way that will work no hardship on the Gamblers Anonymous fellowship.
