About this meeting

Hove We Are Not Saints, another meeting named after a phrase from the Big Book, gathers on Saturdays at 4.15pm at the Methodist Church on Portland Road in Hove for an hour. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, meaning it is intended for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for observers; if you are worried about your own drinking, that is the only qualification you need. The church is wheelchair accessible. A chit system is available, so a member can sign a slip confirming your attendance for court, probation or a treatment programme. The meeting is free and there is no booking.

Common questions

Can I bring my partner or a friend along?

Is proof of attendance available?

Yes. The group runs a chit system and can sign a slip confirming you attended, which is accepted for court, probation and treatment purposes.

Does the venue have wheelchair access?

Yes, the Methodist Church on Portland Road is listed as wheelchair accessible.
