About this meeting
ACA Portsmouth meets every Tuesday at 7.45pm at Immanuel Baptist Church on Victoria Road North, in Southsea. Adult Children of Alcoholics works with adults whose upbringing was affected by a parent's drinking or by other family dysfunction, focusing on healing from that early experience rather than on stopping any behaviour today. Because the meeting is open, friends, partners and professionals are just as welcome as those who identify with growing up in that kind of home. There's no charge to attend and nothing to book in advance; newcomers can simply arrive shortly before the meeting starts and take a seat.
