The Sober She Devils is an international secular online women’s meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). This is a closed meeting of AA, welcoming any woman who has a desire to stop drinking.
We recognize that not everyone believes in god or even a higher power; we want to create a safe place for women to express themselves regardless of their world views, beliefs, religion, spiritual experience or rejection of them.
Sober She Devil meetings are for those who identify as WOMEN ONLY
If you have any questions about our group or meetings, you can contact any of the hosts/co-hosts via the chat box during the Zoom meeting or wait until the end of the meeting when we stay on the line for informal discussion. We can take your questions then and/or share contact information.

In 2017, John S. of Beyond Belief Recovery (then known as “AA Beyond Belief”) hosted a secular Zoom meeting at 1 PM Eastern on Sunday afternoon (AABeyondBelief.org). A group of women attending those meetings started having informal chats following the meetings. During one of the post-meeting chats, one of them exclaimed, “Wouldn’t it be great to have a secular women’s meeting?” Shortly thereafter, it happened! The first online secular women’s AA meeting was hosted on August 26, 2017. Then, on January 29, 2018 the Sober She-Devils name was adopted.

The Sober-She Devils are grateful for the support of the administrators of The Secular Recovery Group. In addition to providing links to secular meetings for people in recovery, the Secular Recovery Group site was “created to allow authors and persons seeking recovery from substance abuse, a place to share experiences outside the constraints of religiosity.” It contains helpful information about recovery from a secular lens, including thoughtful blog posts. We encourage you to check it out!
