About this meeting

Pass It On meets on Friday mornings at 11am at St John's Church on Lothian Road, using the blue door entrance rather than the main church door. The meeting runs for an hour and a half, one of the longer sessions on offer in the city centre during the working week. Its name echoes AA's tradition of members passing on what they have learned to others still finding their way, and the format will typically involve shared experience along those lines. As a closed meeting, it is for people with a desire to stop drinking. Wheelchair access to the building has not been confirmed for this session.

Common questions

Who can attend Edinburgh Pass It On?

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.

Is there a cost or booking process?

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.

Which entrance should I use?

Use the blue door at St John's Church on Lothian Road rather than the main entrance, as that is how members access this meeting.
