About this meeting

Primary Purpose meets on Monday afternoons at 5.45pm at the COPE Centre on Walter Macken Place in Mervue, Galway city, following a Big Book format that works through Alcoholics Anonymous's core text. It is a closed meeting, kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than being open to the general public. The early evening slot can suit people wanting to attend a meeting straight after work before heading home. There is no cost to attend and no need to book a place in advance. Wheelchair access at the COPE Centre has not been confirmed, so it would be worth checking with the group ahead of a visit if step-free access matters to you.
