About this meeting
Experience, Strength & Hope meets in Bartley Green, on the south-west side of Birmingham, every Saturday at 7pm at St Michael & All Angels Church on Romsley Road. The name comes from the sharing format at the heart of AA, where members describe what drinking was like, what happened and what life is like now. It runs for an hour and a half and is a closed meeting, meaning it is kept for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking. If that is you, no invitation or referral is needed; just come along. The church is listed as wheelchair accessible, the meeting is free, and you can attend without saying a word if you prefer.
