My brother has been a faithful member of Alcoholics Anonymous for decades. He's the guy who opens the church and brews the coffee for the weekly meeting.
But since March, his meetings have been on Zoom. So he had an idea. On Zoom, he could meet anywhere, right? So why not go somewhere new. He looked up AA meetings on Google, wrote to a group in County Mayo, Ireland, and asked if they'd share their meeting link. Voila! There he was, at a meeting in a little village in Ireland.
Technology and social media are amazing. What would I have done without texting, emails and Zoom during isolation, with kids far away and a new granddaughter in October? It's great to keep up with friends on Facebook. Twitter and other platforms provide lots of news. It's a blessing in so many ways.
