About this meeting

Right in the middle of Colchester, in the Lion Walk Precinct, this Sunday evening group meets at Lion Walk United Reformed Church at 6pm for an hour and a half. It takes its name from As Bill Sees It, a collection of writings by AA co-founder Bill W. that the meeting draws on for its discussions. This is a closed meeting, reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking; it is not one to bring a supporter along to, but if you are struggling with drink yourself, you will be welcomed without question. The church is wheelchair accessible. Sunday evenings can be a low point of the week for many people, and a central, easy-to-find meeting helps fill that gap.

Common questions

What does it mean that this is a closed meeting?

A closed AA meeting is for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking. It is not open to observers or supporters, which helps members speak freely. If you want to bring family or friends, look for an open meeting in Colchester instead.
