Erdington St Barnabas

St Barnabas Church on Erdington High Street hosts this Saturday lunchtime AA meeting, which starts at 12 noon and runs for an hour and a half. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is reserved for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking; if you are questioning your drinking, that is qualification enough, and you can walk in without any referral. The church is listed as wheelchair accessible and as having provision for people with hearing difficulties, a combination few meetings in the area offer. A midday Saturday slot works well for people whose weekends are otherwise unstructured, which can be a risky gap in early recovery. Attendance is free and nothing needs booking.
