Many people dealing with substance abuse struggle with isolation. So, at a time when social distancing is paramount, Alcoholics Anonymous has brought its gatherings online through meeting host websites.
Anthony B. used to get to his Alcoholics Anonymous meetings early enough to set up the folding chairs synonymous with the gatherings.
For Anthony it was a small way to contribute and also spend extra time with those like himself in recovery."After we set up the chairs, we grab a bite to eat and catch up," he said."The meeting before the meeting is another way that we support each other."When social distancing requirements during the coronavirus crisis took those meetings away, Anthony was concerned about the potential fallout."Our gatherings are about a lot more than not drinking," he said.
