About this meeting

Edinburgh East End meets early on Wednesday mornings at 7.15am in the Christadelphian Church on Gayfield Place, giving members a way to start the day grounded before work. It is a closed AA meeting, so it is for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than a general audience, though that includes anyone new who recognises that in themselves. The early slot makes it a useful option for those who prefer to deal with recovery before the day's demands build up, or whose shifts free them up earlier than most. It runs for roughly an hour and the church has wheelchair access for anyone who needs step-free entry.

Common questions

Who is this meeting for?

This is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, which means it is for anyone with a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the general public. Newcomers are welcome as long as that describes them, including people early in sobriety or simply exploring whether AA is for them.

Is there a fee, and should I book ahead?

There is no charge and no booking system. You can turn up on the day without contacting anyone beforehand. A basket is usually passed round for voluntary donations to cover the room hire, but paying is never a condition of attending.

Is the Christadelphian Church wheelchair accessible?

Yes, the Gayfield Place venue has wheelchair access, so mobility should not be a barrier to attending this early meeting.
