About this meeting

Bury Main Share is the town's principal Friday night Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, held at 7.30pm at Bury United Reformed Church on Parsons Lane and running for an hour and a half. A share meeting centres on members telling their stories, what drinking was like, what changed, and what life is like now, which newcomers often find the most powerful introduction to AA. It is a closed meeting, so it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking; family and friends are asked to choose an open meeting. The church is listed as wheelchair accessible. There is nothing to pay, no booking, and no requirement to do anything except listen.

Common questions

What happens at a share meeting?

Members share their experience of drinking and recovery, usually a main speaker followed by shorter shares from the floor. As a newcomer you can simply listen; nobody is ever made to speak.

Am I eligible to attend?

If you have a desire to stop drinking, or think you might, yes. This is a closed meeting, which means it is reserved for people in that position rather than observers or supporters.

Is it free, and can I get in with a wheelchair?

Yes and yes. There is no charge or booking, and Bury United Reformed Church on Parsons Lane is listed as wheelchair accessible.
