About this meeting
How We Stay Stopped meets every Saturday at 6pm at the Mount Zion Centre, 328A Ipswich Road, Colchester, and lasts one hour. The name gets to the heart of what Alcoholics Anonymous offers: not just stopping drinking, but staying stopped, one day at a time. This is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, including family members, friends and professionals who want to see how AA works. The Mount Zion Centre is wheelchair accessible. A Saturday teatime slot suits people whose weekends are harder than their weekdays, and because the meeting is only an hour long it fits easily around other plans. There is no charge, no register and no need to say anything unless you want to.
