Derby Newcomers Non Religious AA meets every Tuesday at 6pm in The Community Room on Centurion Walk in Chester Green, a short walk north of Derby city centre. As the name suggests, the group takes a secular approach to Alcoholics Anonymous, which can suit people put off by religious language, and it is particularly aimed at those new to AA. This is a closed meeting, meaning it is kept for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking, rather than for observers or supporters. The room is wheelchair accessible. The meeting lasts an hour, costs nothing and needs no booking, and the group also runs a website with more information.
What does a closed meeting mean, and can I still come?
Closed describes who the meeting is for, not a shut door. It is reserved for people who have, or think they might have, a desire to stop drinking. If you are worried about your own drinking, you can simply walk in.
Is this meeting really non-religious?
Yes. The group takes a secular approach to the AA programme, avoiding religious language, and is aimed particularly at newcomers. It also maintains its own website with further details.
Do I need to pay or book a place?
No. The meeting is free, with no booking or referral required, and The Community Room on Centurion Walk is wheelchair accessible.
