Someone is always chiming in to tell me how great their local meetings are. Ahhh yes, good ol’ AA… i love when you suggest that like I’ve never heard it before:rofl:
You must live in or near a city, where there’s multiple meetings, daily! Yeah, I hear all about them, but I’ve never been in a situation where driving several hours, daily, to attend said meetings, is going to work for me. When I post here, in my struggle, I’m looking for other suggestions… outside the box(of AA mtgs)so to speak. I can’t stress that enough. Don’t post here trying to defend your position, i GET that meetings work for you, but they simply dont exist in rural america. Yes, I’ve tried online meetings and while they are fine, I’m looking for real life experiences. PLEASE only respond if you have something helpful to add.
I found a CaliSober group on Facebook that has daily NA zoom meetings. I have same issue you have and in the busy busy Chicago burbs. Went to two churches that NA.gov site said had meetings but, nope. Not active. 35 days clean, pressing on
As said a lot of online meetings. There are also readings, both AA and non AA, spiral steps, rational recovery, bla bla bla. There are apps, reframe, there is all sorts of things.
When AA started people didn’t have meetings, so they wrote letters. I think the important part is communication.
Hop on the phone, all it takes to have a meeting is 2 alcoholics is talking to eachother.
Hi Nat! Have you tried listening to any sober podcasts? If you go onto Spotify and search, you will find a ton of them. I don’t have any particular one in mind to recommend, but there is a wide variety of them. Hope this helps 
a fresh perspective, I like it..
