Is it necessary to put Friend of Bill in your LinkedIn Headline? I'm all for people being in recovery but your headline is a bit much. Also, Open to Coach is not a LinkedIn banner. She made it up.

I'm actually all for that. You got a recruiter that understands what it feels like to come out of a dark place in your life and try to rebuild.

TMI.

Oh boy, she's really putting it out there. I know addiction is a protected class (disability) in some jurisdictions, but why take the risk?

I had to look this up. She’s purposefully leading her profile with a reference to being in AA? All these LinkedIn Influencers have put worms in people’s brains.

Its not "Open to Coach" its "Open 2 Coach".

And what does this have to do with recovery? She was obviously talking about the only Bill that matters.

It's a tough call if this is cringe or over sharing. I'm in AA, 18 months sober. While I personally wouldn't do this, I have met many ppl in AA who were able to pull their lives out of some very dark places. At least "friend of Bill" is somewhat tailored to those in the know, it isn't like she put "recovering alcoholic" or "recovering addict" there. Not my cuppa, but I get it
