Common Questions

Do I have to turn my camera on or say my name?dooley2026-07-29T13:41:41-05:00

Do I have to turn my camera on or say my name?

No. Most online meetings let you join with your camera off and a first name only, and you can listen without speaking. If a meeting’s format matters to you, read its listing before joining — many note whether they are video, audio-only, or chat.

Is a virtual meeting as good as an in-person one?dooley2026-07-29T13:34:53-05:00

Is a virtual meeting as good as an in-person one?

It is a different experience, not a lesser one. Virtual meetings remove the barriers that stop people most often — transportation, childcare, work schedules, and the size of a small town. Many people use both.

Which of these should I try first?dooley2026-07-29T13:35:51-05:00

Which of these should I try first?

If you are not sure, start with whichever fellowship’s language fits you. AA and NA follow a 12-step approach; SMART Recovery uses cognitive and behavioral tools without steps or a higher power; Refuge Recovery is mindfulness-based. You are allowed to try several and keep what works. Call 262-658-8166 if you’d like help sorting through it.
