About this meeting
Saturday mornings in Brighton bring A New Beginning, an 11am meeting lasting an hour and a half at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church. This is a closed meeting for people with a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances, built around a speaker share aimed squarely at those new to the fellowship. Rather than a discussion format, one member tells their story, which many newcomers find a gentle way to hear how recovery has worked for someone else before finding their own voice in later meetings. Accessibility at the venue has not been confirmed. The meeting is free, with no booking required, just turn up for 11am.
