Newcomers meeting
Harefield New Beginnings is a newcomers meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous held in Harefield Library on Park Lane, in the village of Harefield near Uxbridge, every Friday at 6.30pm for an hour. Because it is pitched at people who are new, the discussion tends to stay with first things: getting through today without a drink, and what AA actually involves. It is an open meeting, so you can attend on your own account or alongside someone you are supporting, and professionals are welcome. The library is wheelchair accessible. The early Friday evening slot means it is done by 7.30pm, and like every AA meeting it is free, with no booking or referral needed.
Is this a good meeting for a first-timer?
Yes. It is specifically a newcomers meeting, so the format is geared to people who are new to AA or coming back after time away, and it is open, so you can bring someone with you.
Is the venue accessible?
Yes, Harefield Library on Park Lane is listed as wheelchair accessible.
What does it cost and do I book?
Nothing, and no. AA meetings are free; simply arrive at the library shortly before 6.30pm on a Friday.
