Abstract
Al-Anon World Service Office recruited 11 experienced Al-Anon members to hold an online Al-Anon meeting in a chat room on the Web site of the primary author. A transcript of this meeting with commentary by the authors is published in its entirety in this paper. This transcript represents the first opportunity for a professional audience to have first-hand data about the process of a Twelve Step meeting without actually attending a face-to-face meeting. The paper also examines the implications of using the Internet for the purpose of supporting recovery from addiction.
