Accrington

Held on Friday lunchtimes at 1pm, this Accrington meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous takes place at Ernest Street Baptist Church and runs for an hour and a half. A daytime slot suits people who cannot get to evening meetings, whether because of shift work, childcare or simply preferring to be home before dark. It is an open meeting, which means anyone is welcome, including family members, friends and professionals with an interest in recovery. The church is listed as wheelchair accessible. Like every AA meeting, it costs nothing to attend, no appointment is needed, and nobody will ask you to prove anything about yourself; you can just sit and listen.
