Gravesend

Gravesend's Thursday meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous gathers at 8pm in St John's Church Coffee Bar on Edwin Street, close to the town centre, and runs for an hour and a half. It is an open meeting, which means the door is open to everyone: people who want to stop drinking, partners and family members, friends, and professionals who want to see how AA works. The coffee bar setting keeps things informal. A chit system operates here, so if you need signed confirmation of attendance for court, probation or a treatment programme, just ask. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is free to attend with no booking or referral needed.
