West Essex Newcomers & West Essex Active Service Crew (Traditions And Concepts Workshops)

Two Alcoholics Anonymous meetings run side by side at St Thomas of Canterbury Church on Woodford Green's High Road every Friday at 8pm: West Essex Newcomers, geared towards people in their first days and weeks of sobriety, and the West Essex Active Service Crew, which holds workshops on AA's Traditions and Concepts. Both belong to the same group and share the same venue and start time, so you can simply choose the room that fits where you are. Each lasts an hour and a half. These are open meetings, so family, friends and professionals are welcome alongside anyone with a desire to stop drinking. The church is wheelchair accessible, and attendance slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment services.
