Organize and Attend Online Recovery Meetings from Anywhere at Anytime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Due to the recent outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19), social distancing has made it necessary for people to avoid in-person events like addiction recovery meetings. You may be staying at home to help your community, protect your family, or because you\u2019re sick or caring for a loved one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the reason, it doesn\u2019t have to get in the way of your recovery. Free online recovery meetings can help you keep in touch with your support group so you can safely work together to stay sober.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Features & Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flexibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is an online recovery meeting for every day of the week and most times of day, so it\u2019s usually easy to get something that fits your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anonymity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Staying anonymous helps people support each other without fear of judgment. Online meetings held in video and chat rooms can be completely anonymous with made-up screen names you choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convenience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Online recovery meetings can happen anywhere with a stable internet connection. You can be at home or traveling abroad and still attend your meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For many, attending a meeting from the safety of their own home can make the recovery process more comfortable. Others may enjoy not having to commute to their meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wider network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In-person meetings are sometimes limited in size and location. Online support groups help you access new people and perspectives you may not get locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Access to specific topics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Online recovery meetings can bring people together for targeted meetings for women, veterans, LGBTQ+ people, adolescents, speakers of different languages, support groups for families of addicts<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many of the things you can expect from in-person recovery meetings<\/a> still apply when it\u2019s online. Joining a support group and attending meetings regularly can help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
