Have a recent run-in with the law and need to start getting your meetings at Alcoholic’s Anonymous verified? While some courts and officers might have specific requirements, I’ve done my best to put together a list of meetings with verification for AA below, along with the their requirements. Enjoy!

InTheRooms.com

Intherooms.com is by far the easiest platform for getting verification because the functionaly is built directly into the website.

They have meetings for NA, AA, SA – and every other kind of addiction under the sun.

They have meetings every couple hours, and usually have a couple hundred people on every meeting. You can share if you want to, but you’ll quickly notice that its mostly the same people sharing every day.

Overall, InTheRooms.com is great if you NEED a meeting, and NEED the verification, but if you’re looking to create community and really work the steps, I’d suggest Intergroup or In-Person meetings.

AA Intergroup

AA Intergroup is the official directory for online meetings with Alcoholics Anonymous.

On the intergroup site, you can find meetings at almost any time of day, all across the world. Most of the meetings use the Zoom interface, and will verify your attendance, but will require you to reach out via email.

In my experience, the Intergroup meetings are slightly more valuable, entertaining, and have a higher percentage of genuine addicts seeking sobriety.

If you want to get value from a group, and also get court verification, I would suggest finding a group that you really like FIRST, then after attending a few sessions, emailing the secretary/host and just communicating that you want to make it your home group and get verification. If it’s a true AA group, they will be very excited to help.

That being said, below I have listed a few groups that I have attended personally along with their deets!

💻 - 1 Focus, On Recovery

Summary - This is a great online group held via Zoom that meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:30AM & 3:00PM EST. They also have a speaker meeting which is held on Sundays at 3:00PM EST.
Verification? - Yes! This group will give you verification which includes a return email and the phone number of the group secretary. Just email FocusOnRecoveryHumboldt at gmail.com immediately after the meeting ends.

- Joy of Living

Summary - This is a very lively Zoom group that meets at 8:30 AM EST every day of the week. It's currently run by "Jay", and he does a great job getting everyone involved and also keeping the meetings organized. Each person during the meeting is called on to share (if time allows), but it's certainly not mandatory to share anything. Out of all the meetings I've attended online, this one is definitely one of the best!
Verification? - Yep! If you shoot Jay an email after the meeting at joyoflifeaa @ gmail.com he'll send you an email response verification (usually within the day).

- Global Men's Meditation

Summary - This meeting for men meets on a daily basis and is rooted in a daily meditation. The meeting is on Zoom, daily at 8:30 AM EST. The meditation varies and most users do turn off their camera during that time (about 10 minutes).
Verification? - Yes! If you email kkcbmeetings at gmail.com you will get an email response for verification, but it's dependent on the number of inquiries for the turnaround time.
