The Friday edition of Back To Basics gathers at 1pm at the Friends Meeting House on Ship Street, in Brighton's Lanes, and runs for an hour. This one is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, which means it is kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking; if you are wondering whether that includes someone brand new who has not touched a meeting before, it does, and you will be made welcome without any fuss. A weekday lunchtime meeting in the city centre is easy to slot around work, and the hour-long format keeps it manageable. The Friends Meeting House is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost, no booking and no paperwork; you simply arrive, sit down and take part as much or as little as you like.
