This individual, who had gone to three or four meetings a week in the city, thought that virtual AA could help supplement a meeting schedule reduced by distance and population. Frankly, I didn't find much back then, but when a reader recently proposed Recovery as a topic, I discovered how the virtual world of Recovery Resources has changed. This is the spot for official connections to the AA approved cyber world. I don't mean to make this sound too official, but folks in Alcoholic Anonymous operate under a code called The Twelve Traditions. When something is AA approved, it means that it is directly connected to AA and subscribes to the Traditions.
AA never endorses or condemns the work of other organizations.
That would be against the code. At this site one can hook into dozens of AA places including a long list of e-mail discussion groups that help link isolated rural folks with other people. Not everybody in recovery is suffering from alcoholism and there are 12 Step and other programs for just about any addiction. This one is maintained by a local Alcoholics Anonymous group but offers opportunities well beyond problems with drinking. The site makes it very clear that inclusion of these links is not an endorsement of either the products or the business practices of the various stores.
