About this meeting

Absolute Beginners is an open Cocaine Anonymous meeting held on Friday evenings at 6pm in St Mary Magdalen's Church Hall on Upper North Street in Brighton, lasting about an hour. As the name suggests, it is aimed at people new to the fellowship, though anyone can attend, whether they have a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances or are supporting someone who does, and speaker sharing gives newcomers a chance to hear from others further into recovery. The venue is confirmed as wheelchair accessible, making it a practical choice for a first meeting regardless of mobility needs. There is no cost involved and no requirement to book ahead, so anyone curious about the fellowship can simply turn up before 6pm.
