Littlehampton Newcomers meets on Friday evenings at 7pm at Dove Lodge, 49 Beach Road, and runs for an hour. As a newcomers meeting, it is shaped around people in their first days and weeks away from drink, though members at every stage attend to share what worked for them. It is a closed meeting, which in AA language means it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking; that absolutely includes first-timers, but relatives and friends should choose one of Littlehampton's open meetings, such as the Wednesday or Sunday meetings at the United Church. Dove Lodge is wheelchair accessible. The meeting is free and there is no need to book or be referred.
I've never been to AA. Is this the right meeting?
Yes, it is designed for newcomers. Although it is a closed meeting, that only means it is for people with a desire to stop drinking, which includes anyone attending for the first time.
Can my partner or a friend come in with me?
Not to this one; closed meetings are for those with a desire to stop drinking. Littlehampton's open meetings at the United Church on Wednesdays and Sundays welcome family and friends.
Is Dove Lodge accessible, and does the meeting cost anything?
Dove Lodge on Beach Road is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is completely free with no booking required.
