About this meeting

Experience, Strength and Hope is Downham Market's Saturday meeting, starting at 7.30pm in Room 3 of the Methodist Church on Paradise Road and running for an hour and a quarter. Use the side door to get in, as noted in the room directions. The meeting takes its name from what AA members share: honest accounts of what drinking was like, what changed, and how life is now. It is open to everyone, whether you have a desire to stop drinking or are supporting somebody who does. The church has wheelchair access. As always with AA, it is free, unbooked and anonymous. A Wednesday evening meeting, Emotional Sobriety, uses the same room if one meeting a week is not enough.

Common questions

Where is the entrance?

The meeting is in Room 3 of Downham Market Methodist Church on Paradise Road; use the side door rather than the main entrance. The venue is wheelchair accessible.
