Welcome to the group! I also live in a country where there is no AA or any similar type groups but there is a lot available online now. Personally I’ve found this group the most helpful. I’ve been given a lot of good advice, support and encouragement here. I hope you will have a similar experience.
I live in a village in Kyrgyzstan. There’s no resources here about addiction (that’s changing soon because I’ve been working on translating material on the subject) but there is so much available in English online. Have you checked out any online meeting?

Welcome Beba. I’m from Amsterdam, the Netherlands and I’ve lived here all my life. Plenty of Recovery resources available where I live but this place right here has been my main one for 5+ years now. But here you’ll find all info on AA you want. Success!!!

I’ll go deeper than 2016…Birth - Present:
Illinois 
Louisiana Illinois California Illinois Oregon New Mexico Illinois Oregon
- IL to LA, back to IL, to CA, and back to IL is all kid/teen stuff and I had no choice in the matter(s)
- I originally moved to Portland, OR in 1994,
- did the “addiction geography change” to:
- Albuquerque, NM,
- did zero recovery and not-so-shockingly:
relapsed, - did another “addiction geography change” to:
- my mom’s (back in Illinois [thinking, suuuurely that would do the trick
]), - again: did zero recovery and not-so-shockingly (you guessed it): relapsed,
- did another-another “addiction geography change” back to:
- Portland, OR in 1998 (because everyone I used with back in '94-'95 was either dead or in prison so now, “for real”
I would stop drinking & using ) and have been back in Portland ever since. - That said, I only FINALLY received that Gift of Desperation 624 days ago and:
- have been IN Recovery for 623 days!
Yeesh…I’m exhausted after alla that.

Oh it’s interesting I never thought to list places I lived in in order this way.
Born and raised in Maine, USA. Moved to Thailand then Cambodia. From there I moved to Turkey from there to Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Jordan then did a short stint in Afghanistan and Iran before ending back in Kyrgyzstan where I’ve been for about 10 years now.
