Every listing comes straight from the fellowship that publishes it. Coverage grows area by area — your local intergroup is always the most complete source.
Online A.A. meetings open on New Year's Day 2027 (Friday, January 1), in your time zone: about 4,500 meetings, hour by hour below.
The holidays can be some of the hardest days in recovery, and you don't have to get through New Year's Day alone. Online A.A. rooms meet all through the day, a few never close, and many areas hold an alcathon or holiday marathon. Here is what is open on New Year's Day.
Online A.A. rooms on New Year's Day
Times in your time zone: ·
On Fridays, 4,493 online A.A. meetings are listed, each at its own time in its own time zone. The list below puts every one that meets on New Year's Day into your own time, hour by hour. Across the week one starts at least every 30 minutes.
Every room here is a weekly meeting, listed by the group or service office that runs it. On a holiday a few take the day off or change the time; if a room doesn't open, the next one is never far away.
Open around the clock
2 rooms have a meeting listed at almost any hour of the week, New Year's Day included. Worth trying whenever you read this:

Alcathons and holiday marathons
Many areas keep a meeting room open over the holidays with a meeting every hour or so, often around the clock: A.A. calls it an alcathon (or alkathon), and N.A., C.A. and C.M.A. areas hold their own, usually called marathons. They run over Thanksgiving in the US, through Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and from New Year's Eve into New Year's Day; each one's own notice says when it runs and who it's for.
They're put on locally, so they're announced locally: ask your intergroup, central office or area. Look on its website or events page, or call its phone line, usually a few weeks ahead. Every listing on this site names the group or office that publishes it, so your own town's page here tells you whose website to check.
