About this meeting

There is also an evening option on Thursdays, with Belfast East End meeting at 7.30pm at the Skainos Centre on Newtownards Road in east Belfast. The meeting is open, welcoming anyone whether or not they personally have a desire to stop drinking, including relatives and friends of someone in recovery. This gives the group two Thursday sessions to choose from, one at lunchtime and one in the evening. There is no charge for attending and no need to let anyone know in advance that you are coming. An online alternative is available too, with the Zoom details sent by email to anyone who asks.
