Meeting ID 469572788 A meeting where alcoholics may feel free to express any doubts or disbeliefs they may have, and to share their own personal forms of spiritual experience, their search for it, or their rejection of it. In keeping with A.A. tradition, we do not endorse or oppose any form of religion or atheism. Our only wish is to assure suffering alcoholics that they can find sobriety in A.A. without having to accept anyone else’s beliefs, or having to deny their own.

Buffalo Early Birds
Buffalo Early Birds is a daily, online only, co-ed open meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. We have a regular beginners' room, focused on early sobriety and the first three steps of A.A.'s program of recovery. We also host breakout rooms every day, dedicated to the reading and discussion of our cherished program literature (and on weekends, small group discussions). Our daily "Conscious Contact" meditation and prayer fellowship runs from 6:30 AM until the start of the regular meeting (same Zoom ID and password). Reading excerpts from the Big Book and Twelve and Twelve, we ask God to direct our thinking and conclude with any prayer intentions we have for the day. ALL are encouraged to join us for prayer and meditation -- whether you are a spiritual novice or A.A. "old-timer!" ID: 81978749979 Password: 716AA
