Gainsborough's Thursday night meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous takes place at 7.30pm at the Cornerstone Christian Centre on Middlefield Lane and runs for an hour and a quarter. It is an open meeting, so along with people who want to stop drinking, family members, friends and professionals are welcome. The group keeps numbers to a maximum of fifteen, and asks that you bring a mask, a water bottle and, if possible, your own copies of the AA Big Book and Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, to cut down on shared handling. If you do not own the books yet, come anyway; the important thing is turning up. There is no charge and nothing to book.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
The group asks attendees to bring a mask, a water bottle and, if possible, their own AA Big Book and Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions to reduce handling of shared copies. If you do not have the books, you can still attend.
