Staying Sober in a Pandemic: Insights from Alcoholics Anonymous
Technology has been a tool used by AA for a long time, but not in the profound way it's being used now.
Imagine trying to stay sober when the world feels like it's falling apart. That's the reality for many during the pandemic, and Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is stepping up to the plate. In this episode of Recovery Radio, Claire B, the Public Informational Director for Southeast Pennsylvania Intergroup Association of A.A., shares how AA is adapting to these challenging times.
From leveraging technology to host virtual meetings to navigating privacy concerns, AA is finding innovative ways to support those on their sobriety journey. Claire discusses how home groups are making their own decisions about meeting formats and how trusted servants are stepping up to serve their communities. Despite the hurdles, AA continues to be self-supporting through electronic donations, proving that even in isolation, community and support are still possible.
If you're looking for ways to maintain sobriety during these unprecedented times or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and resources.
