Do you count online meetings as meetings?
I'm newly sober and want to attend some meetings but my anxiety is really bad still. I sat in on an online meeting tonight which was great. Do you count that as going to a meeting or not really?

Anything to help maintain your sobriety sure why not??
Many years back, myself and a member from Alberta chatted with each other one winter night. She lived 30 or so miles out and she had a blizzard outside.
I know of several people in the military that have used online meetings over seas.

I've been attending them every day this week. I find them really helpful to pull me out of complete isolation. They are helping me to flirt with the idea to go to a face 2 face meeting. I am grateful the online meetings exist.

Btw, one thing to keep an eye out for are trolls. There have been a few today, so I don't think I'll be using the private message option anymore during or after meetings. It can really throw you off if you're having a trying day.

so people on AA meetings who are trolls aren't actually addicts, they just go online to "troll" with people i.e just mess with them
