Alcoholics Anonymous

Online meetings have been used in AA for a long time. Members have been connecting online for as long as there has been an internet. And because of coronavirus, many more meetings have moved online.
Many AA members use online AA meetings as a supplement to more traditional types of meetings; others (by virtue of geography, disability, or scheduling conflicts) may not be able to share in the fellowship any other way. With the former group, the bond of fellowship is strengthened through the much wider geographical reach of the Internet; with the latter group, the experience, strength, and hope of others in similar circumstances can be a lifeline to sobriety.

Nar-Anon

The Program will lead you, step by step, towards recovery from the chaos and madness of your life with the addict, even if the addict is still in your life.
Many people who have an addict in their lives become ashamed and isolated. We recommend that you join your local Nar-Anon group so you can benefit from the support and friendship of like-minded people who will understand your situation and can help you towards your goal of recovery.
If there is no Nar-Anon group in your area, you can join our on-line Zoom meetings. Contact Lynne on 0412 217 509 or lynne@naranon.com.au to get details of the next Zoom meeting and your check-in code.
