About XA
XA is an open, anonymous 12-step recovery fellowship that welcomes addicts from any 12-step program. The XA name is derived from X, meaning any addiction and A, meaning anonymous. The primary purpose of the XA groups is to carry the message of recovery to addicts that still suffer.

XA members come from a variety of 12-step fellowships including: AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), GA (Gamblers Anonymous), NA (Narcotics Anonymous), OA (Overeaters Anonymous), SA (Sexaholics Anonymous), etc.

While XA Meetings are typically held online via chat rooms, conference calls, and video conferencing, etc. the most active area of XA fellowship is on the Twitter's #XA topic area. Because online meetings require brevity (particularly on twitter), XA members frequently use recovery-related netspeak or chatspeak.

Meeting in my Pocket
One advantage that the XA fellowship offers over other online recovery fellowships is that there is seemingly always someone online with whom to connect and share. Many members of the XA fellowship utilize smart-phones to connect which has brought about the phrase "A meeting in my pocket."
