Online meetings
Search AA, NA and other UK recovery meetings by postcode, town, or fellowship, in person or online. No sign-up. No tracking of who you are. Just the door, the time, and how to get there.
No. You do not have to sign up, register, book, or be referred to go to a recovery meeting in the UK, online or in person. You just turn up.
This surprises a lot of people, because almost everything else needs a form. Meetings do not. There are no records, no membership lists, and nothing that follows you.

Most online meetings are simply a link you open at the meeting time. A few groups ask you to email for the link, which is about keeping the room safe, not about identifying you. You never need to give your full name, and you can join with your camera off.
12stepfinder itself has no accounts either. We do not track who you are; the site is a directory, nothing more.
Anonymity is a founding principle of the fellowships, not an afterthought. First names are enough, what is said in the room stays in the room, and nobody is asked to prove anything about themselves. You do not even have to be sure you have a problem; being curious is reason enough to listen.
Almost never. Most online meetings are an open link you click at the meeting time. A few ask you to email for the link, which protects the room rather than identifying you. There is no membership form anywhere.
No. Meetings keep no attendance records, and anonymity is a core principle: first names only, and what is said in the room stays there. 12stepfinder does not track who you are either.
No. Meetings are free. Groups cover their own costs through optional contributions, and nobody is expected to give anything.
No. Nobody checks anything. If drinking, using, gambling or any other pattern is worrying you, that is enough reason to sit in a meeting and listen.
