Edinburgh Manic Monday takes place at 1pm on Mondays at St John's Church on Lothian Road, entered via the blue door rather than the main church entrance, so it is worth looking out for that when arriving. The meeting lasts an hour and a half, giving more time than most weekday lunchtime sessions for members to share. It is a closed AA meeting, meaning it is for those with a desire to stop drinking rather than the general public, though that includes anyone attending for the first time. Wheelchair access to the building has not been confirmed, so it is sensible to check ahead if this matters to you.
Who can attend Edinburgh Manic Monday?
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 or a booking requirement?
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.
Which door should I use to get in?
Entry is via the blue door at St John's Church on Lothian Road rather than the church's main entrance, so look out for that on arrival.
