Experience, Strength & Hope is the Okehampton area's Monday night meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, held at Fairplace United Church, 3 Fairplace Terrace, from 7.30pm for an hour and a quarter.

The church is wheelchair accessible. Attendance is free, with no booking or referral, and newcomers can simply listen without any pressure to speak.
