I hope you have a computer! –

MARCH 25, 2020 – For recovering alcoholics, “Go to a meeting,” is the answer to most problems. Want to drink? Go to a meeting. Lost your job? Go to a meeting. Getting a divorce? Go to a meeting. Understandably, many of us wondered how Alcoholics Anonymous would manage without the benefit of in-person meetings. One writer predicted many would relapse and lives would be forever ruined.

As the coronavirus pandemic approached and it became clear that in-person meetings were no longer advisable, scores of A.A. meetings in the Baltimore area and across the country have gone from church basements to online forums, like Zoom, seemingly overnight.
