About this meeting

Eastbourne Newcomers is designed for people at the very start of getting sober. It meets on Tuesdays at 5.30pm at Lift House, within the CGL building at 6 St Leonards Road in Eastbourne, and lasts a single hour, so it fits between work and the evening. This is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, meaning it is kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking; that focus makes it easier for newcomers to ask the questions they might not ask elsewhere. You do not need to say a word if you would rather listen. The venue is wheelchair accessible, attendance is free, and there is no booking or referral needed; walking through the door is the only step required.

Common questions

I have never been to AA before. Is this the right meeting?

Yes, this meeting exists for exactly that. It is aimed at newcomers, and the only requirement is a desire to stop drinking. You can just listen if you prefer.

Why is it called a closed meeting?

Closed means the meeting is reserved for people who want to stop drinking, rather than family or professionals. It keeps the room private and honest; newcomers are its whole purpose.

Is it free, and is there wheelchair access?

Yes, it is free with no booking needed, and Lift House on St Leonards Road is wheelchair accessible.
