About this meeting
Oldtimers Pass It On does what it says: members with long sobriety pass on what they have learned to those coming up behind them. The meeting runs on Mondays at 8pm for an hour and a half at Nevendon Community Hall, tucked behind St Peter's Church on Church Lane, Basildon. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is reserved for people who have, or think they might have, a desire to stop drinking; if you are supporting someone else, an open AA meeting is the place to start. The hall is wheelchair accessible. Nothing is charged and nothing is booked, and for a newcomer there are few better rooms than one full of people who have stayed sober for years.
