Part of Darlington's multi-meeting timetable, this General Share session meets on Wednesdays at 12 noon at the Community Centre on Willow Road, lasting an hour. A general share format keeps things simple: members take turns to talk about whatever is going on in their recovery, and newcomers are free to just listen. It is a closed meeting, which in AA language means it is for people who have, or think they might have, a desire to stop drinking; family, friends and professionals are asked to attend an open meeting. The community centre is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost and no booking, making it a workable lunchtime option for anyone in Darlington who needs a midweek anchor.
