Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Open the Meetings page on bhaktirecoverygroup.com, pick an open meeting that fits your time zone, and join it on Zoom with the link listed there..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Meetings follow the 12 steps, and most draw on Bhakti texts such as the Bhagavad Gita or Prabhupada's writings, so expect a spiritual element. The listed times show when each meeting starts and ends, but the pages do not say whether you will be asked to speak.

Tips for your first visit

  • Convert the Eastern time to your own time zone before you join, since most listings use Eastern time.
  • Join a few minutes early to check your audio and video, since meetings are on Zoom.
  • Pick an open meeting; men's meetings are for men only.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Open meetings are listed with a join link, and the site says the only requirement is wanting recovery. The pages read do not say newcomers are welcomed by name, so the rating is 3..
