About this meeting

Dorchester Living Sober Lunch meets at midday on Fridays in the Tolpuddle Room at United Church on Charles Street, with the entrance at the rear of the building. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, meaning it is for AA members, those with a desire to stop drinking, rather than an open meeting for the general public. Taking its name from AA's Living Sober pamphlet, the group tends to focus on the practical, everyday side of staying sober rather than the Steps or Traditions directly. There is no attendance chit system running at this group. Wheelchair access to the Tolpuddle Room has not been confirmed.
