Friday nights at 8pm bring the Just For Today meeting to Pilgrims Hatch Parish Hall, on the corner of Orchard Lane and Ongar Road in Pilgrims Hatch, north of Brentwood town centre. It is an open meeting, so alongside anyone with a desire to stop drinking, family members, friends and professionals are welcome to come and listen. The meeting lasts an hour, making it a steady, manageable way to end the working week, and its name reflects the AA idea of taking recovery one day at a time. There is no cost and no need to book a place; people simply arrive shortly before eight and take a seat. If it is your first meeting, you will not be asked to speak unless you want to.
Can I come along if I am supporting someone else?
Yes. Pilgrims Hatch Just For Today is an open meeting, so friends, family and professionals are welcome as well as anyone with a desire to stop drinking.
Is there a charge or any booking needed?
No. The meeting is completely free and you do not need to book; just arrive before the 8pm start on Friday.
Is the Parish Hall wheelchair accessible?
Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue. If step-free access matters to you, it is sensible to check before travelling.
