2023 Meeting start time madness period
USA Daylight savings begins 12th March, they "spring" forward one hour, this happens in the UK on the 26th March. As Australia is in the southern hemisphere, their clocks "fall" back one hour on the 2nd of April.
The GREEN links take you staight into the meetings, the BLUE ones require some form of registration first. Please let us know of any meetings we have missed, or if any times or links change. Our (Dave and Tina) email address is: alternatives@gmx.com
To check the current time in Australia and the USA. I use these handy sites TIME.IS or TIME ZONE CONVERTOR. Alternatively it is easy to add extra time zones to your SMART Phone clock.

SMART F and F meetings
SMART Recovery USA have a great new meeting finder webpage SMARTfinder.
(To find the F&F meetings, you will need to type "USA" and press Search. On the next page press Filters.
Now select "Family and Friends" for Program, "Online" for Type, "---" for Distance and press search).
Unfortunately, their international meetings are currently restricted from being displayed using this tool.
The Australian, US and UK meetings also run on the Zoom system. By registering on the US and Australian sites, we get access to resorces and forums. We can also set the US calendar time zone to GMT (always check for daylight saving date differences).
