How will people in a twelve step group respond if you don't follow their rituals?

In particular, I am curious about the one where you want to talk. You say, “My name is Wundayatta, and I am an overeater.”

What if you’re not sure you’re an overeater? What if you’re not sure you qualify as an alcoholic? Or what if you’re not sure you’re addicted to whatever the group is about?

Do you identify yourself as an addict anyway? Lie? Can you say, “My name is Wundayatta and I’m not sure what I am?” How do you think such a group would respond to that? Would they feel you are breaking something sacrosanct, in denial, and really not appropriate for the group? Would they not care?
