About this meeting

Accrington Living Sober takes place on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm at Clayton Baptist Church on Sparth Road in Clayton-le-Moors, on the northern edge of Accrington. The meeting lasts an hour and a half and takes its name from a popular piece of AA literature focused on the practical business of staying away from the first drink. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is intended for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for observers or supporters. Wheelchair access at this venue has not been confirmed, so if that matters to you it is worth checking locally before attending. The meeting is free, and no booking or referral is needed.

Common questions

What does 'closed meeting' mean here?

It means the meeting is for people who have, or suspect they have, a desire to stop drinking. Anyone in that position is welcome, including complete newcomers. Family and friends are asked to choose an open meeting instead.

Do I need to pay or register?

No. AA has no fees or membership lists. You can walk in shortly before 7.30pm on a Wednesday and take a seat. Voluntary contributions cover the room hire.

Is the church wheelchair accessible?

Access for wheelchair users has not been confirmed for this venue. If step-free access is essential, it is sensible to check before you travel or try one of the other Accrington meetings listed as accessible.
