After moving to a small, rural community in Pennsylvania from Philadelphia, I was shocked to see the limited amount of 12 step recovery meetings in this area. Since moving here, I have already run into several of my drug and alcohol clients at AA meetings, and the ethical issue of boundaries has needed to be dealt with. Scott (2000) stated, “many addictions counselors are also in recovery and attend 12-step programs in the community. Thus, they often find themselves in a dual role with clients, acting as a therapist in treatment and a peer in groups such as Alcoholics Anonymous,” (p. 213). Due to the fact that I am recovering myself, and need these meetings to maintain my own sobriety, being knowledgeable about the ethical guidelines regarding dual…

We also need to be honest with one another and not hide things so that problems do not keep building up or to keep things inside of us until the point where we let it all out and things can get destructive.

We also need to avoid using media to communicate about any problems we have and to rely on synchronous communication such as talking face to face about any personal…
