Christchurch

Christchurch's Thursday night Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is held at the Scouts Hall on Stanpit Road, starting at 8.15pm and running for an hour and a quarter. The hall can be slightly tricky to find first time; the group suggests searching for Stanpit Marsh Car Park on Google Maps, which will bring you to the right spot. It is a closed meeting, which means it is intended for people who have a desire to stop drinking; if that is why you are coming, you need no invitation and no prior contact with the group. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue. Like every AA meeting, it is free, and you can sit quietly and listen on your first visit if speaking feels like too much.
