Hi back again before I relapsed I found some way of finding zoom meetings where you can just listen you don’t have to talk and I’m struggling now found a few but then they call my name and I just want to listen to others for now. Hope everyone’s having a good day and thankyou in advance

Do u feel comfortable saying “I just want to pass today”, if they call ur name? Ive said this a couple times when I just feel like listening 🙂 Also, the NA meetings Ive attended on Intherooms app have never called my name as u have to raise ur hand if u want to share. They have AA meetings on that app too!

I didn’t know if that was acceptable on most chats I’m back new to this again just wanted to check if there was any particular zooms but that sounds like some good advice thank you

Did you try online Recovery Dharma meetings? They’re an alternative to AA/NA and all the A’s, and they’re based on Buddhist principles. From what I know you never have to speak when you don’t want to. Nor is there a need to pass or something. You can just be there.

I really like the following website. You’ll never be called on unless you request to share. There are times that I’ll join a meeting and listen while I’m doing things around the house.

I add listening at work next to my name when I just want to listen in zoom meetings.

Can I ask where do you find your meetings like a site I’ve tried to change my name unsure if I’m doing it right but says I need to ask the host to change it

Before you enter the meeting. Change your zoom username. That should work
