Aberfan

An Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is held on Thursday evenings at seven o'clock at Bethania Chapel in Aberfan, near Merthyr Tydfil, and runs for an hour. It gives people from Aberfan and the surrounding valleys a regular, close-to-home option among others who share a desire to stop drinking. Being a closed meeting, it is kept for those pursuing their own recovery from alcohol rather than open to family, friends or professionals attending to observe, which allows the sharing to remain candid. The chapel is wheelchair accessible, so getting in and finding a seat should be manageable for most. There is no charge to attend and nothing to book beforehand, you simply arrive shortly before seven and take a seat among a community with a long and steady history of mutual support.
