Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are being held in virtual reality on platforms like Horizon Worlds, VRChat, and Resonite.
The anonymity provided by physical AA meetings is further extended in the virtual space, making it easier for participants to seek help for their drinking problems.
Hundreds of people have reportedly started their recovery journey through these virtual meetings, with thousands attending sessions over the past five years.
Virtual AA meetings initially began in AltspaceVR during the COVID-19 pandemic and have since expanded to other platforms like VRChat and Resonite, offering support and fellowship in immersive spaces.
