About this meeting
Ebbw Vale Friends Of Bill W meets on Friday evenings at half past seven at the Ysbyty Aneurin Bevan hospital on Lime Avenue, running for an hour. The name is a familiar shorthand used within AA, referring to the fellowship's co-founder, and the meeting gives people connected to the hospital, alongside others from the local area, a place to talk about their desire to stop drinking. Being a closed meeting, it is kept for those pursuing their own recovery from alcohol rather than open to family, friends or professionals attending to observe. The venue is wheelchair accessible, reflecting its hospital setting. There is no cost to attend and no need to book beforehand, you simply arrive a little before half past seven and take a seat among a settled group.
