About this meeting

Rounding off Monday evenings in Darlington, this Topic meeting starts at 7.45pm at the Community Centre on Willow Road and runs for an hour. Each week a topic is chosen, perhaps resentment, gratitude or the first drink, and members share their experience around it, which keeps the hour varied and easy to follow even if you have never sat in a meeting before. It is a closed meeting, so it is for people who have, or suspect they have, a desire to stop drinking; family, friends and professionals are asked to attend an open AA meeting instead. The community centre has wheelchair access. Free of charge and free of booking, it asks nothing more than turning up.
