About this meeting

Keep It Simple meets on Sunday afternoons at 2pm at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church in Kemptown, Brighton, and runs for an hour and a quarter. The name reflects one of Alcoholics Anonymous' best-loved sayings, and the meeting itself is open, meaning anyone can attend: people with a desire to stop drinking, relatives and friends offering support, and professionals wanting to see how AA works. A mid-afternoon Sunday meeting can be a welcome landmark in what is often the hardest day of the week to fill. The church is wheelchair accessible, and a chit system is available, so attendance slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment purposes. There is no charge and no booking; you simply turn up.
