What is the Lamplighters Group? How, where and when does it meet?
Founded by six people in 1991, Lamplighters now numbers just under 700 members logging on from more than thirty countries around the world. We share our experience, strength and hope with each other over the Internet, via email. Unlike “live chat” AA meetings (of which there are many), email meetings involve using a central listserver to gather our posts and redistribute them to the group, so that everyone can hear every speaker’s share, just as in a traditional meeting place. Since the Internet operates 24 hours a day, members can log on at any time to download their email, then disconnect to read and respond at leisure. Thus they choose whether and when they wish to “attend” our non-stop meeting.
