On Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm, Hove Discussion meets at St Richards Church and Community Centre on Egmont Road in Hove for an hour and a half. As the name suggests, this Alcoholics Anonymous meeting takes a discussion format, with members sharing their experience around a topic. It is an open meeting, so you are welcome whether you want to stop drinking yourself or are a family member, friend or professional who wants to understand more about AA and recovery. The centre is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge, no booking and no pressure to speak; plenty of people just listen, especially at their first few meetings.
Can I attend to support my partner or a friend?

No. Nobody is required to speak at an AA meeting. It is completely fine to sit and listen, particularly when you are new.
