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.
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.
Do I need to book or pay anything?
No. AA meetings are free and there is no booking. Just come along to Lion Walk United Reformed Church shortly before 6pm on Sunday.
Is the venue accessible and how long does it last?
The church in Lion Walk Precinct is wheelchair accessible. The meeting starts at 6pm and runs for an hour and a half, finishing around 7.30pm.
