Aa gay zoom meetings

Types of AA Meetings

LGBTQ: Selected AA chapters focus on providing a secure space for the LGBTQ+ collective, and generally welcome LGBTQ+ allies. These groups prioritize members’ recovery and sobriety within a non-heteronormative context.

Open: In Washington, open AA meetings are not restricted to members only. Anyone is welcome to attend and learn more about how the program works and what the 12 step model of recovery includes. This includes individuals seeking help for alcohol addiction as well as nonalcoholics who want to help a friend or loved one in recovery.

If you think you have a difficulty with alcohol or need to communicate with another alcoholic, please call the Boulder County Intergroup hotline number at

Unwanted disruptions are taking place during some online meetings using the Zoom videoconference service.* Life from A.A. members and Intergroups suggests groups can shrink these disruptions by using specific security and privacy features available on that service, and by giving service responsibilities to members to address safety and disruption concerns. Some suggestions from members and other Intergroups  include:

• Disable File Transfer
• Disable Screen Sharing for Users
• Disable ability for attendees to un-mute themselves
• Consider locking meetings after the conference starts
• Have a Co-Host who can mute/unmute participants and if necessary, turn off a participant’s video/remove a disruptive participant
• Disable private chat and chat recording
• Set your username for anonymity
