About this meeting

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.
