Monday evenings in Hartlepool offer this hour-long General Share meeting at the Salvation Army Church Hall on Park Road, starting at 7.15pm. There is no set text or theme; members share their own experience of getting and staying sober, which gives newcomers a broad picture of recovery in one sitting. As a closed meeting it is intended for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking, which includes anyone attending for the very first time. Those wanting to accompany a loved one could try the open As Bill Sees It meeting at the same hall on Wednesdays instead. The building is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is free with no booking required.
Am I allowed in if I am not sure I want to stop drinking?
Yes. This closed meeting is for anyone who has, or thinks they may have, a desire to stop drinking, and wondering about it is reason enough to attend.
Does it cost anything to attend?
No. AA meetings are free, there is no booking, and a voluntary collection is exactly that: voluntary.
Is there wheelchair access at the venue?
Yes, the Salvation Army Church Hall on Park Road is listed as wheelchair accessible.
