About this meeting
Great Dunmow's weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meeting is held on Wednesdays at 8pm at The Day Centre on Chequers Lane in Dunmow, and runs for an hour and a half. It is an open meeting, meaning anyone can attend: people who want to stop drinking, family members and friends who want to understand what they are living alongside, and professionals with an interest in recovery. For a smaller Essex town, having a regular weekly meeting on the doorstep matters, and this one is straightforward to get to in the centre of Dunmow. The Day Centre is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge, no register and no booking; arrive a few minutes before 8pm and you will be met with a welcome.
