AA does NOT offer online meetings themselves. There are a lot of similar groups that offer similar programs or support, but basically all of them will tell you that you should be going to actual meetings, with real people.

You can find a list of those online groups here:

Or do your own google search.

HOWEVER, I have to agree with Theymos, AA is not a reputable program for dealing addiction despite how popular and government-supported it is. Twelve-stepping is not a scientifically proven way to deal with an addiction or negative behavior. It's a spiritual program, not a scientific or medical one.

Alcoholics Anonymous is an ineffective cult-like organization. More information:

According to the academic sources cited there, AA is less effective than no treatment at all, and people are more likely die alcohol-related deaths while on the program.

Instead, try SMART Recovery, which offers free online and offline meetings using proven, scientific methods:
