Jaywick Share brings Alcoholics Anonymous to Jaywick, on the coast just west of Clacton-on-Sea, meeting every Monday at 7pm in Unit 1 of the Enterprise Centre on Lotus Way. The meeting runs for an hour and a half and takes a share format, with members speaking about their experience of drinking and recovery. It is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, including family members and friends who want to understand what their loved one is going through. The venue is wheelchair accessible. Having a meeting rooted in Jaywick itself means local people do not have to travel into Clacton or further afield for support. It is free, and no booking or referral is ever needed.
What happens at a share meeting?
Members take turns to share their experience of drinking and recovery, and you can listen for as long as you like without speaking. Because this is an open meeting, supporters and family members are welcome too.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is never a charge for an AA meeting and nothing to book. A voluntary collection helps with room costs, but newcomers are not expected to contribute.
Where exactly is the meeting and is it accessible?
It is in Unit 1 at the Enterprise Centre, Lotus Way, Jaywick, CO15 2LU. The venue is wheelchair accessible and the meeting runs from 7pm to 8.30pm on Mondays.
