The green and gold book," It works, how and why" is emphatic that phone calls and text messages to other recovering addicts by letters, online forums or emails are all valid alternatives to face-to face meetings.
There will be times in recovery when a recovering adict, newcomer or oldtimer will not have acces to face to face meetings. This may happen for many reasons; but the point is to not be denied a meeting on that particular day/night so the literature validates non-face to face as recovery choices too.

Thank you for posting this, O Wise One. There have been days when access to the online recovery sites (I use three regularly) have been real life-savers for the maintenance of my sanity and spiritual condition! It takes what it takes, and whatever works, works.

Dean that guy I called you about decided he could handle things on his own I think he got to an alano meeting that he said he got nothing out of it but I have come to find out he also has a prescription drug problem which I was pretty sure of anyhow, I think a few more times of getting the same results he'll come around.
