About this meeting
Meeting on Friday evenings at 6pm, Derby Non Religious AA offers a secular take on Alcoholics Anonymous in The Community Room on Centurion Walk, Chester Green, just north of Derby city centre. The format avoids religious language, which some people find a more comfortable way into the programme. It is a closed meeting: rather than meaning the door is shut, this is AA's way of saying attendance is for people who have, or wonder whether they have, a desire to stop drinking. The session lasts an hour, the room is wheelchair accessible, and there is no charge or booking. The group also meets on Tuesdays and Sundays at the same time and place, and runs its own website.
Common questions
I am not religious. Is this meeting for me?
Quite possibly. Derby Non Religious AA takes a secular approach to the Alcoholics Anonymous programme, avoiding religious language, which many people find a more comfortable way in.
Who is allowed to attend a closed meeting?
Closed meetings are for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking. The term describes the audience rather than a locked door, so if that is you, no invitation is needed.
Is there a cost, and is the room accessible?
There is no cost and no booking. The Community Room on Centurion Walk is wheelchair accessible, and the same group also meets there on Tuesday and Sunday evenings at 6pm.
