About this meeting
Back To Basics meets on Monday afternoons at 2pm at the Chapel Royal, 164 North Street, right in the middle of Brighton, and lasts one hour. True to its name, the meeting keeps things simple and grounded in the fundamentals of the Alcoholics Anonymous programme, which makes it a comfortable landing spot for people at any stage. It is an open meeting, so you can attend whether you have a desire to stop drinking yourself or you are a friend, relative or professional wanting to understand more. The central location is a short walk from shops and bus routes on North Street. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue. As with all AA meetings, it is free and no booking is needed.
