On Saturday afternoons at 1pm, the North Presentation Convent on Gerald Griffin Street in Cork city hosts Cork City Griffin Street A New Beginning, a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. Being closed, it is set aside for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than being open to friends, family or professionals sitting in. This Saturday sitting runs alongside Sunday and Thursday meetings held at the same convent, giving members several points in the week to attend. There is no cost and no need to book ahead, so anyone eligible can simply arrive for the 1pm start. Wheelchair accessibility at the venue has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking with the group directly if step-free access is needed.
