Growing Your Virtual Meeting

While our literature has preserved the integrity of the A.A. message, sweeping changes in society as a whole are reflected in new customs and practices within the Fellowship. Taking advantage of technological advances, for example, A.A. members with computers can participate in meetings online, sharing with fellow alcoholics across the country or around the world. In any meeting, anywhere, A.A.’s share experience, strength, and hope with each other, in order to stay sober and help other alcoholics. Modem-to-modem or face-to-face, A.A.’s speak the language of the heart in all its power and simplicity.  (A.A. 4th ed. p. xxiv)

Discussion with GSRs, Group & Area Trusted Servants:

In lieu of our COVID-19 times, conducting Twelve Step meetings has presented several challenges:

1) When to start up again as a “bricks and mortar” meeting? What issues may a group confront? What about matters such as, meeting size, social distancing, disinfecting the room? How might this impact C.A. as a whole?

2) Issues with hosting Virtual meetings? i.e. Unwanted attendees? Inappropriate chatting? Maintaining anonymity? Making the virtual room safe for men and women?
