About this meeting

Bishop's Stortford's Monday night Speaker meeting runs from 8pm to 9.30pm at The Hub Church on Portland Road. At a speaker meeting a member tells their own story at some length, what drinking was like, what changed and what life is like now, before the floor opens for shares; many people find hearing one full story more helpful than fragments. The meeting is closed, which in AA terms means it is kept for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking, first-timers very much included. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed at this venue. As with every AA meeting there is no charge and no booking, and nobody is obliged to speak.

Common questions

What is a speaker meeting?

One member shares their story in depth, covering what their drinking was like, what changed and how life is now, and other members then share. It is a good format for newcomers who want to listen.

Who can attend?

It is a closed meeting, so it is for anyone who has, or thinks they may have, a desire to stop drinking. Family and friends should choose an open meeting, such as the Wednesday lunchtime one at the same venue.

Is there wheelchair access or a cost?

The meeting is free with no booking. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue, so check before travelling if needed.
