There Is A Solution is a Saturday newcomers meeting in Soho, held at St Anne's Church, 55 Dean Street, from 5.30pm to 6.30pm. It exists for people in their first days and weeks of trying to stop drinking, so the hour is shaped around the questions and worries that newcomers actually have. Being an open meeting, it also welcomes family, friends and professionals. St Anne's is wheelchair accessible. There is nothing to pay and no booking; arrive shortly before 5.30pm on the day. If you want a fuller Saturday evening, the Covent Garden Newcomers Big Book Study follows nearby at 6.15pm, and many people are new at both.
Is this meeting suitable for a first-timer?
Very much so. It is a newcomers meeting, so people at the very start are the point of it. You will not be asked to speak or to give anything more than a first name.
Can family or friends come too?
Yes. It is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, including people supporting someone else and professionals.
Is the church accessible, and what does it cost?
St Anne's Church is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is free with no booking needed.
