Hi First time posting here... been an addict since I was a child over two decades ago.
Are there really no face to face meetings in Brooklyn or Manhattan? I assumed there would be at least a few. Taking a train to Tarrytown or leaving the boroughs puts a huge hole in my day. Is OLGA mostly a chatroom/phone meeting thing? Thanks for your responses...
Welcome AllisterHolland! Although we don't have alot of face-to-face meetings yet, they are growing. We have 4 meetings online a day some in this chatroom, stepchat, or by voice in mumble. The times are listed here http://olganon.org/?q=node/46551. I'm in Cleveland where we have a face-to-face meeting of us gaming addicts, but I also attend the online meetings which have helped tremendously. Hope to see you in one!
I'm in upstate NY, but wouldn't mind going down to the city for a meeting :). Would be nice to get out and meet others while also touring the city a bit!
Hi dillydally, welcome. Please send me a private message if you'd like the details of the meeting in Tarrytown. Also, looking back in the thread there are a number of people who want a meeting in NYC. You could contact them and set somethig up. Good luck!

Would also be interested in meeting in New York City, and willing to coordinate it too! Those who are interested can toss me a PM if there isn't a group going already, and if there is, I'd love to receive details on the next meeting. I live in Manhattan.
I'd defintely like to make it to one of the Tarrytown meetings. I live 3 hours away. I'll keep in touch and hopefully come sometime in february. Do you guys talk about anything specifically? Thanks!
I am establishing a Manhattan based meeting for recovering video game addicts and those who are abusing technology. Please PM me if you are interested, so we can connect. I have not yet established a definite time/location, and will probably only do so when I either (A) find another person who wants to recover and can establish a convenient time to meet with or (B) find that there is no opinion or person who's schedule I have to work around and will therefore just set up shop at the easiest/best time for me.
i believe so. Please send hirshthg a private message (PM). http://www.olganon.org/?q=user/11185

Hello,
Would anyone want to start a chapter in NYC and have face to face meetings here?
Please post or PM if you do.
Happy Holidays

Dear AllisterHollard,
Gaming will put a nice hole in your day too. There was a Brooklyn meeting. You are welcome to start a meeting there if you like.
We are a fairly new addiction, and fairly new in recovery as well.

RC, there is a regular Sunday meeting in Tarrytown, NY, easy to reach to by train. PM me for details.

We are meeting in person in Tarrytown NY. See the first post.
Unfortunately, we don't have an in-person in NYC following COID-19 and we are hoping to re-start NYC meetings soon.
