For people in areas where there may not be as many in-person meetings as they’d like, so they supplement with online meetings:

Debtors Anonymous
AA is not a religious organization, but it is run by humans. It’s easy to get the impression that it is religious, because the people in AA come up with customs that originate in religious practice.
The AA General Service Office has published these pieces on the inclusiveness of the program for non Christians, non believers, doubters, free thinkers and fallen angels. These are the latest AA pamphlets, and believe me, they don’t come up with new ones too often.
The God Word
Many Paths To Spirituality
I am wondering why you didn’t include Narcotics Anonymous? Seems people shy away from talking about the fellowship.
I don’t think it was anything intentional - this list is very much a work in progress If you think there’s a group that should be included, share a link here in the thread!
Online / Distance Meetings & Support
SMART Recovery online meetings
Alcoholics Anonymous - Online Intergroup Meetings
Buddhist Recovery Network - Online Meetings
Many other recovery groups and traditions have virtual / online meetings as well - search around & they can usually be found fairly easily. Happy recovery!
I originally created this list with alcohol recovery in mind, others have added additional addiction resources over time. It is not a comprehensive list by any stretch.
And I added in NA as requested.

Omg !! Thanks so much this is a great tool
Such a good feed of resources!! Thank you for sharing with me!!
One suggestion on a book:
The subtle art of not giving a f@&*
By Mark Manson
Hugely helpful in my recovery and seeing all the things I give too many f’s about.
Also great chapter on values and the ways we can sometimes set our values to fail us.
That IS a great book! Thanks for the reminder!!
Suicide Anonymous: for persons struggling with obsessing/dwelling on suicide:

Living Sober is a good book, also available as a CD narrated by recovering alcoholics. Lots of short, accessible chapters you can keep going back to.
