Alma is a Sunday morning Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Tower Hamlets, east London, held at 41 Spellman Street in Banglatown, E1. It starts at 11.30am and runs for an hour and a half, a useful anchor for anyone who finds weekends the hardest part of the week. This is a closed meeting, which in AA terms means it is reserved for people who have, or suspect they have, a desire to stop drinking; friends and family would be better served by an open meeting. Like all AA meetings it is completely free, and nobody needs to book, register or be referred. Just arrive a few minutes before the start and take a seat.
What does it mean that Alma is a closed meeting?
Closed does not mean unavailable. It means the meeting is for people who have, or think they might have, a desire to stop drinking. Anyone in that position is welcome; supporters and professionals are directed to open meetings instead.
How much is it and do I book?
It is free and there is no booking. You can simply arrive at 41 Spellman Street shortly before 11.30am on a Sunday.
