Eastbourne Literature is an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held on Mondays at 6.45pm at Emmanuel Church on Upperton Road, close to Eastbourne town centre, and it runs for an hour and a quarter. The format centres on AA literature, using the fellowship's books and pamphlets as a springboard for sharing, which gives each week a clear theme and makes it an easy meeting to settle into as a newcomer. It is an open meeting, so anyone may attend, including family, friends and professionals as well as anyone with a desire to stop drinking. The church is wheelchair accessible. Attendance costs nothing and needs no booking, and a chit can be signed if you need proof of attendance for court, probation or treatment.
