Chat Now & Roundabout volunteering opportunities

">Online Chat Now Service - can you help?

AA GB now has an online chat and messaging service through the website, aimed at those seeking help with their drinking problem or making an enquiry.  You can help by being a respondent.  Due to its flexibility, this service is ideal for those wishing to do service remotely or from home and who have specific times that they are available. 

Do you have...?

2 years continuous sobriety...a good knowledge of the steps and traditions....a laptop or computer?M

You can find out more about how to get involved and help by emailing ecomm6.sc@aamail.org the General Service Office on gso@alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk.

There is also a Chat Now Guidelines PDF online, for extra information. 

If you would like to refer someone in need of help to the online chat and messaging service, share this page with them. Please note that if there is no one available for a chat, a message will be generated to the team and an aa respondent will get back to the enquirer as soon as possible. This is why your help is very important! 

Remember... Service keeps your sober, so please give back to AA as much as you think AA has given to you! 

Modem to modem or face-to-face, AAs speak the language of the heart in all its power and simplicity. 

Roundabout Magazine Contributions 

Roundabout is written by alcoholics in recovery and is your 'meeting in print', it carries the experience, strength and hope of our stories. It is our Scottish magazine and is greatly valued and avidly read by newcomers to AA, as well as members with decades of continuous sobriety. For members living in isolated areas it can be, quite simply, a lifeline. it can speak to us, and to potential members, in a very personal way. It is not a dry collection of facts about Alcoholics Anonymous but carries the voices of individual members telling their own stories.

Submitting your article is simple, click here to type it out and send it to the Editorial Team online, any sober alcoholic can write an article and there is no minimum length of sobriety required. Our little magazine depends on a stream of articles and carries AA's message of hope and recovery. It can often reach places and people that could not be reached in other ways; there are members sober today because they first met AA in the pages of a Roundabout found in a doctor's waiting room or handed in to a prison.
