Aldenham Lunchtime Discussion meets on Wednesdays at midday at St John the Baptist Church on Church Lane in Aldenham village, on the edge of Watford, and runs for a generous hour and a half. As a discussion meeting, members share their experience around topics raised on the day rather than listening to a single speaker, and nobody is ever required to speak. It is an open meeting, so you are welcome whether you have a desire to stop drinking yourself or are supporting somebody else, and professionals may attend too. The church is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge and no appointment system; getting there a few minutes before noon gives you time to find the room and settle in. The daytime slot suits anyone who finds evening meetings difficult.
Can I attend if I am not sure I have a problem with alcohol?
Yes. This is an open meeting, so anyone may sit in, including people who are simply finding out what AA is like, family members, friends and professionals.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. AA meetings are free, with no booking or referral needed. Members may pass a pot for voluntary contributions towards room hire, but nobody is expected to give.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes, St John the Baptist Church in Aldenham is listed as wheelchair accessible.
