About this meeting
We Are Not Saints meets on Wednesday mornings at 7am at the Salvation Army on Balham High Road, an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting lasting an hour that gives people a chance to check in with the week before work begins. The name nods to a well-known line from AA's own literature, acknowledging that recovery is about progress rather than perfection. It is an open meeting, so anyone can attend, whether they have a desire to stop drinking, are a family member or friend, or are attending in a professional capacity. There is no cost involved and no need to book a place in advance; you can simply arrive at the venue for the start time. Wheelchair access at the Salvation Army building has not been confirmed, so anyone with mobility needs is advised to check with the group beforehand.
