Hi Whitney! :wave:

Personally I have found virtual meetings helpful. If you search ā€œAA onlineā€, ā€œAA virtual meetingsā€, or similar terms, you will find some online meetings.

There are other lists of meeting groups here too:

For me getting active in my home group making the coffee or taking a 12 step to meetings visiting prisons and hospitals passing the message ,as for online meetings they will help but not keeping you active , exercise ,diet, our group go to a other meetings we pile in a car a pay a visit to another on way home we usually stop for fish and chips for me nothing beats a face to face meeting , wish you well

Welcome @uloveslimmm! I found that doing things with my wife and daughter helped a lot. I think we became a stronger family. Another thing that helps is to discover or rediscover a hobby. For me that was woodworking (although I still make better firewood than projects).

As for meetings, it wasnā€™t until this year that I started going more actively. I went before but only once a month at best. I go more frequently now but not always the same one. I like getting different perspectives.

Welcome Whitney! Ive tried getting clean numerous times. Meetings were always a huge help, life saving even. But this time around in recovery i wasnt able to attend in person meetings. So i joined NA and AA meetings online thru the free Intherooms app. They have a variety of meeting times to fit ur needs :slight_smile:

I also do a variety of recovery related things such as daily recovery readings, coming on here often to read or check in, journalling, praying, doing a gratitude list, exercising, working on my vision board, etc. As long as its recovery related it helps me to stay focused on my path :slight_smile:

Congratulations also on ur sober time! Great work!
