For early risers, Colne offers a 7.30am Alcoholics Anonymous meeting on Tuesdays at The Open Door Project, 1 Great George Street. Running for an hour and a half, it lets people get a meeting in before work and start the day anchored, a pattern many in recovery find keeps the rest of the day manageable. It is a closed meeting, for those who have a desire to stop drinking, including anyone trying AA for the first time. The venue is listed as wheelchair accessible for this session. There is no charge and no booking; the only thing required is getting out of bed, which regulars would say is the hardest part.
Is this really at 7.30 in the morning?
Yes. The meeting starts at 7.30am on Tuesdays and runs for an hour and a half, designed so people can attend before work or the school run.
