Additional information:
• Newcomers are happily welcome – unless you have questions, there is no need to contact anyone before you come, you can just show up! 🙂 
• Though we meet in a church, please know that ITAA is not affiliated with any religion. Our fellowship firmly upholds every member’s freedom to engage with any faith tradition or lack of faith tradition, as is most helpful to them in their own path to recovery.
• This meeting is for: internet and technology addicts, as well as for anyone exploring whether they might have a problem. Newcomers are happily welcome. 
• This meeting is not for: researchers, journalists, or the friends and family of internet and technology addicts. If you are in one of these groups, please attend an open meeting (colour coded in purple on ITAA’s online meeting schedule) or explore information and resources for family and friends of addicts.

Additional meetings

If you’re new, we encourage you to try attending six meetings in a short period of time to see if our program may be helpful to you. In addition to our local in-person meeting, you can also review our other in-person meetings and a complete schedule of online meetings. All meetings are completely free and anonymous.

How do meetings work?

If you will be joining a meeting for the first time, there’s no need to be nervous. Most of our meetings are very simple; each meeting has a chairperson who leads the meeting, and most meetings are one hour long. The chair and other volunteers read some opening statements, before we open the meeting for members to share. There is no requirement to share, and it’s okay to just listen. You can share how you are doing, introduce yourself and what brought you to ITAA, or ask questions. Unless requested by the member sharing, we do not offer suggestions or comments in response to other’s shares; we simply listen non-judgmentally. At the end of the hour, the meeting will end with some closing statements, after which members usually talk casually, ask questions, and exchange contact details.

Internet and Technology Addiction resources

If you’re wondering whether you may have an internet and technology addiction, you can review our questionnaires for internet addiction, social media addiction, streaming addiction, phone addiction, or video game addiction. You can also learn more about ITAA by reading our guide for newcomers, reviewing our tools of recovery, or listening to members’ recovery stories.

ITAA is not affiliated with any political agenda, religion, or outside interests. We’re fully self-supporting and free to all who need it. Our single purpose is to abstain from compulsive internet and technology use and to help others find freedom from this addiction.

Again, welcome! We hope this community is able to provide the support you need in your recovery from internet and technology addiction. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.
