If you want a Friday night meeting in Darlington, this General Share gathers at 7.30pm at the Community Centre on Willow Road and lasts an hour. Because it is an open meeting, anyone may attend, not only people who want to stop drinking themselves but also partners, family members, friends and professionals who would like to understand how Alcoholics Anonymous works. The general share format has no fixed topic; members simply share their own experience, strength and hope, and nobody is ever required to speak. The venue is wheelchair accessible. Meetings are free, there is no booking or referral needed, and arriving a few minutes before the start gives you time to say hello and find a seat.
