Al-Anon Members Went Nuclear!

It appears that the well-known “Anonymity Statement” may have been the result of “The Manhattan Project.”
“Whom you see here, what you hear here, when you leave here, let it stay here.”
It may also have been the result of our sister fellowship according to Glenn C. and others. Glenn points us to “The Tools of Recovery” at Hindsfoot and says: “Some of the local folks say that this statement was first read by one of the people who put together the seven ‘tools of recovery’ when he was attending an Al-Anon meeting.”
Steven L. comments that he’d seen the statement on a Manhattan Project documentary and then Glenn offers that perhaps our Al-Anon brothers and sisters went “nuclear” and adapted the slogan for their use.
For anyone who might not know, Glenn also includes, “The Manhattan Project (1941-1946) was the top secret World War II project in which the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom worked together to produce the first atomic bomb. Research took place at over thirty sites in the United States, Canada, and United Kingdom.”
Now you get it, right?
