Living Sober is Harborne's Monday lunchtime AA meeting, held at 1pm at Harborne Baptist Church and lasting an hour and a half. It shares its name with the AA book of practical suggestions for staying away from the first drink, which sets the meeting's down-to-earth tone. This is a closed meeting, reserved for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking; if you are wrestling with the question at all, you are welcome, and no referral is needed. The church is listed as wheelchair accessible. A 1pm start suits people who cannot get out in the evening, and Harborne's Monday evening meeting at St Mary's offers a same-day alternative. Attendance is free with no booking.
