On Mondays, Edinburgh East End opens the week with a 7.15am meeting at the Christadelphian Church on Gayfield Place, a short walk from Leith Walk. As a closed AA meeting it is for those with a desire to stop drinking, and newcomers matching that description are welcomed alongside long-standing members. Starting the week with a meeting before work is a pattern many members find useful, and this early Monday slot serves that purpose. The session lasts about an hour. Wheelchair access is confirmed for the venue, so it is a workable choice for anyone who needs step-free access to the building.
Is this meeting open to the public or members only?
As a closed meeting, attendance is limited to those with a desire to stop drinking, which is AA's only membership requirement. It is not restricted by age, background or how long someone has been sober, and newcomers are actively encouraged to come along.
Does it cost anything to attend?
No, it is completely free and there is no need to book or register in advance. Simply arrive for the start time and take a seat; AA meetings run on voluntary donations towards room hire and literature, but nobody is asked to pay to attend.
Can I get in if I use a wheelchair?
Yes, the Gayfield Place church has wheelchair access, making it suitable for members with mobility needs.
