Brighton Back To Basics

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.
