About this meeting

Fareham Experience, Strength and Hope meets on Wednesday evenings at St Columba Church on Hilson Drive, starting at 7.30pm and running for an hour and a half. Taking its name from the sharing format described in the AA Big Book, this open meeting welcomes family, friends and anyone curious about the fellowship alongside members. The church has wheelchair access, though no newcomer chit is noted for this particular group. Held weekly in Fareham, it gives people with a desire to stop drinking a longer midweek meeting where members share how they came to AA, what happened, and how things are for them now.
