About this meeting

The name is a happy accident of geography: Straight Road To Recovery meets at the Straight Road Community Centre, 329 Straight Road, on the western side of Colchester. It gathers on Saturday mornings at 10am for one hour. This is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for supporters or observers; if that describes you, you are welcome from your very first Saturday. The community centre is wheelchair accessible. A weekend morning meeting can anchor the whole weekend, and the one-hour format leaves the rest of the day free. There is no charge, no booking and no paperwork; attendance is entirely anonymous.

Common questions

Can I bring my partner or a friend along?

This is a closed meeting, so it is kept for people who themselves have a desire to stop drinking. If you would like a companion with you, an open meeting elsewhere in Colchester would be the better choice for a first visit together.

Is there any cost or booking involved?

No. AA meetings are free and you never need to book. Simply arrive at the Straight Road Community Centre shortly before 10am on Saturday.

Is the venue accessible?

Yes, the Straight Road Community Centre is wheelchair accessible. The meeting runs from 10am to 11am on Saturday mornings.
