About this meeting
They Stopped In Time is Altrincham's young persons' AA meeting, held on Wednesday evenings at 7pm at Altrincham Methodist Church on Barrington Road and lasting an hour. The name comes from a section of the Big Book about people who caught their drinking early, before losing everything, and the meeting is particularly aimed at younger members, though nobody checks ages at the door of an AA meeting. It is a closed meeting, for anyone who has a desire to stop drinking, including complete newcomers. The church is wheelchair accessible. Attendance is free with no booking, and arriving a few minutes before 7pm on a Wednesday is all the preparation anyone needs.
