Online Support & Recovery Meetings in Berks County

We’ve put together a list of support group meetings that can be joined online or in-person.

Alcoholics Anonymous – Help is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call (610) 373-6500.
The primary purpose of A.A. is to carry its message of recovery to the alcoholic seeking help.
Zoom is being offered in direct response to the General Service Office’s letter to the fellowship which “suggests that groups that are unable to meet at their usual meeting places have begun to meet digitally; doing so in a sensible and helpful manner which allows the group to continue keeping the focus on our common welfare and primary purpose.”
