About this meeting

Trudging Through Thursday — the name is a nod to the Big Book's 'trudging the road of happy destiny' — meets every Thursday at 6pm at Heskin Village Hall on Wood Lane, south-west of Chorley. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting running for one hour, for anyone with a desire to stop drinking. The early-evening slot suits people coming straight from work who want their Thursday back by seven o'clock, and the village setting spares Heskin, Eccleston and Wrightington residents the run into Chorley or Wigan. A newer addition to the area's AA map, it extends the local week between the Wednesday and Friday meetings nearby.

Common questions

Who can attend?

Anyone with a desire to stop drinking — this is a closed AA meeting, reserved for people seeking recovery themselves rather than supporters.

How long does it last?

One hour, from 6pm to 7pm at Heskin Village Hall on Wood Lane — an easy after-work commitment.

Do I need to book or pay anything?

No. AA has no fees and no booking. Just walk in a few minutes before 6pm on a Thursday.
