1st Edinburgh is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that runs every Tuesday at 7.30pm at St Catharine's Convent on Lauriston Gardens, lasting around an hour and a half. Being closed, it is intended for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than the wider public. As one of the longer-established groups in the city, it offers a settled midweek option for members in central Edinburgh. There is no charge to attend and no booking process, so anyone eligible can simply arrive shortly before half past seven. The venue is wheelchair accessible, which is worth knowing if mobility is a consideration when choosing where to attend.
