Doors open 18.30.
Every Monday evening at 7pm, Cambridge Primary Purpose meets at the Unitarian Church on Emmanuel Road in central Cambridge, with doors opening at 6.30pm so there is time to arrive, settle in and say hello before the meeting starts. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting lasting one hour, which means you are welcome whether you are worried about your own drinking or coming along to support a family member or friend. Professionals who want to see how AA works can attend too. The church is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge and nothing to sign up for; arriving a little early, while the doors are open from half past six, is the easiest way to feel comfortable on a first visit.
Can I come if I'm not sure AA is for me?
Yes. This is an open meeting, so anyone can attend, including newcomers who just want to listen, plus family, friends and professionals. The only requirement for AA membership itself is a desire to stop drinking.
Is there a cost or do I need to book a place?
No. All AA meetings are free and nobody books in. Doors open at 6.30pm for the 7pm start, so you can simply walk in.
Is the Unitarian Church accessible for wheelchair users?
Yes, the venue on Emmanuel Road is listed as wheelchair accessible.
