Chip mtg.
Keep It Simple meets on Friday lunchtimes in Leigh-on-Sea, at 9 Lord Roberts Avenue, starting at 1pm and running for an hour and a half. It is a chip meeting, which means tokens are given out to mark milestones in sobriety, from the first day onwards; watching someone collect a chip for years of continuous recovery can be a quietly powerful thing for a newcomer to see. The meeting is open, so anyone may attend, including family, friends and professionals. The venue is wheelchair accessible. A daytime meeting by the Essex coast suits shift workers, retired people and anyone who finds evenings difficult. As with all AA meetings, it costs nothing and needs no booking.
