About this meeting
A third meeting at Gants Hill Methodist Church in Barkingside rounds off the week for the Ilford Barkingside Recovery group, held on Friday evenings at eight o'clock and running for an hour and a half. This one is a step meeting, so rather than open discussion, the group works through one of the Twelve Steps together in some depth. It's still an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, meaning anyone can attend, including family, friends, or professionals, alongside people with a desire to stop drinking. Alongside gathering at the church, it also runs online, with joining details on Alcoholics Anonymous's own meeting page. There's no cost involved and no need to book a place beforehand.
