About this meeting
Cork Second meets on Thursday evenings at 8pm in the YMCA Building on Marlboro Street in the heart of Cork City. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so attendance is limited to people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than to relatives or professionals wanting to observe. Being centrally located, the YMCA venue is easy to reach by anyone travelling into the city for the meeting, whether on foot or by public transport. There is no charge to attend and no need to register or book a place beforehand. As with all closed AA meetings, newcomers are welcome as long as they meet the basic requirement of wanting to stop drinking, and the group encourages people to arrive a few minutes before 8pm so introductions can happen before the meeting starts.
