People in recovery from addiction are often used to — and need — connections with others to help support them as they work to achieve sobriety. In the time of COVID-19, and with shutdowns, isolation, and social distancing…that no longer works. On the Big Island, several addiction recovery groups that are part of Alcoholics Anonymous have gone online. Everybody is invited to join, and as in face-to-face meetings, the members use only their first names, and otherwise remain anonymous.
There are two hotline numbers on the Big Island, for those who wish to talk or have questions. Many groups are now online using Zoom or other video conferencing apps. Members of AA in both West and East Hawaii urge anybody interested to call or email to get more information and to learn more about the practices of AA.
Hotlines:
East Hawaii: 808-961-6133, email eastsideintergroup@gmail.com
West Hawaii: 808-329-1212, email officemanager@westhawaiiaa.org
For East Hawaii AA groups: http://easthawaiiaa.org/
For West Hawaii AA groups: https://www.westhawaiiaa.org/
Below is a list of current West Hawaii Zoom meetings; call 808-329-1212 if there’s any question about access or passwords. Then, a link to the East Hawaii meetings, which will lead to all the East Hawaii options. There is also a link to AA-Intergroup which has many online meetings available all day in all sorts of different formats.
AA knows that solitude is not terrific for those in recovery and urge anybody who is interested and in need to attend meetings online, or call.
