Hastings Emotional Sobriety is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held every Saturday at 5pm in St Mary Star of the Sea RC Church on the High Street in the Old Town. Being closed, it is for AA members only, meaning anyone with a desire to stop drinking is welcome, including newcomers attending their first meeting. The room is set back from the main church, next to the Stables Theatre, so look for signage pointing you through. The venue is wheelchair accessible. Attendance chits are available for anyone who needs a slip signed for court, probation or a treatment programme. The focus here is on emotional sobriety, exploring the feelings and reactions that come after the drinking has stopped, alongside the usual AA fellowship and shared experience.
Who can come to Hastings Emotional Sobriety?
It is a closed AA meeting, so it is for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than the general public. If you think you might have that desire, you are welcome to attend, including as a first-time visitor.

Is the venue accessible and can I get a chit signed?
St Mary Star of the Sea RC Church is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting room is at the back of the building next to the Stables Theatre. Attendance chits are available for those who need proof of attendance for court, probation or treatment.
