Out of respect, I would identify as an alcoholic at AA, and choose to remain abstinent from alcohol. Kinda like how one would wear a kippah if they went to a synagogue or a western woman would wear a hijab in Saudi Arabia.
The only issues I may have with attending AA for opioid addiction would be the fact that some poly addicts (alcohol and drugs) attend AA for their alcoholism but choose not to address their pharma use. ie by going to AA instead of NA, it offers a bit of a loophole. I knew a number of problem benzo users who chose AA for this reason.
