About this meeting

Named after a well-loved line in AA literature, Hove We Are Not A Glum Lot meets at 7.30am on Tuesdays at Sunshine Books Art and Coffee, Hove Manor, 4 Hove Street, and lasts an hour. Despite the early hour, the name is a reminder that recovery meetings are often warmer and funnier than newcomers expect. It is a closed meeting, which in AA terms means it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking. The venue is wheelchair accessible. There is nothing to pay, nothing to book, and no expectation that you will speak; turning up is the only step that matters.
