Will #XA Meetings Online Keep You In Recovery?

One would have to be in some form of denial to discount the inherent benefits of attending f2f meetings. Still, there's this pervasive assumption that a large percentage of people in recovery *live* within a reasonable distance to any fellowship's meetings. This isn't necessarily so. Welcome to recovery in rural America where if meetings are scarce, then literature, telephones and broadband (if available), may be a 12-stepper's only reliable safety net.

Examples

Some folks in recovery might argue that celebrities in the throes of active disease are an outside issue. I humbly beg to differ. It's my belief that we, along with the general public, need to be reminded of the insanity that's part of the addiction package tour. Thank you Charlie Sheen, Amy Winehouse, et al, for being what's known as a good example of a bad example.
