About this meeting

Darlington Multi-Mtg: Beginners is an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at the Community Centre on Willow Road, Darlington, on Wednesday evenings from 6pm, running for about an hour. As the name suggests, it is aimed particularly at people who are new to AA, giving space to ask basic questions about the programme without the meeting moving too fast. It is a closed meeting, which under AA's traditions means it is for members only - anyone who has, or believes they may have, a desire to stop drinking. This is not a restriction on who can be in recovery; it simply keeps the focus on shared experience among people working the same programme. The meeting is short, at an hour, making it an easy one to try for a first visit, and it happens every week.
