Brighton Gratitude meets on Wednesdays at 6pm at St Mary Magdalen's Church Hall, 55 Upper North Street, a short walk from the city centre, and lasts one hour. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, which means it is intended for people who have a desire to stop drinking; there is no vetting and no membership requirement beyond that desire, so newcomers can simply arrive and take a seat. An early evening start makes it workable straight after the working day, and the one-hour format is a gentle length for a first meeting. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this hall, so check in advance if you need step-free entry. Attendance is free and there is nothing to book.
Can I just turn up without telling anyone?
Yes. There is no booking or referral. Arrive at St Mary Magdalen's Church Hall shortly before 6pm on a Wednesday and walk in.
Who is allowed at a closed meeting?
Anyone with a desire to stop drinking, including people completely new to AA. Family, friends and professionals would need an open meeting instead.
Is there a charge?
No. Like every AA meeting, Brighton Gratitude is free to attend.
