it depends on your particular addiction, over a decade ago I participated in in the Microsoft rooms (type share) .. I'm a poor typist and the meetings tend to lack spontaneity..

the new breed of recovery groups use voice rooms, and often are very close to their face to face counterparts... many of them use pal talk.. while most of the activity happens around north American time zones. afternoon meetings can be joined in the evening in the UK and western Europe..

I know in my group we have over 30 meetings a week (voices of nicotine recovery)
