Hemel Hempstead Candlelit Speaker meets on Thursday evenings at 8pm at St Mary's Church on London Road in Apsley End, running for an hour and a half. The room is lit by candlelight and the main share comes from a speaker telling their story of drinking and recovery, a combination that makes for a calm, unpressured evening; you can simply sit and listen, and many first-timers do exactly that. It is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, including family members, friends and professionals as well as anyone with a desire to stop drinking. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue. There is no charge, no register and no booking; just arrive shortly before eight on a Thursday.
Can I bring a friend or family member?
Yes. This is an open meeting, so people supporting someone, and professionals, are welcome alongside anyone with a desire to stop drinking.
Will I have to talk?
No. The main share comes from an invited speaker, and nobody is required to say anything. Plenty of people spend their first meetings just listening.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. AA meetings are free and no booking or referral is needed. The meeting runs from 8pm to 9.30pm at St Mary's Church, Apsley End.
