About this meeting

Edinburgh St Catherines also runs on Monday mornings at 10.30am, again at St Catharine's Convent on Lauriston Gardens, lasting an hour and a half. Starting the week with a meeting is a habit many members find grounding, and this session offers that option near Tollcross and the Meadows. It is a closed AA group, meaning attendance is for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than the general public, though newcomers matching that description are always welcome. As with the other meetings held in this building, wheelchair access has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking ahead if step-free entry is a requirement for you.

Common questions

Is this meeting open to everyone?

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.

Do I need to book, and is it free?

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.

Is St Catharine's Convent accessible by wheelchair?

This has not been confirmed for the venue, so anyone who needs step-free access should check with the group beforehand.
