About this meeting

Keep It Simple is Maldon's Monday evening Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, held in the first-floor room of the Friends Meeting House on Butt Lane at 7.30pm and lasting one hour. True to its name, the format keeps things uncomplicated, and the meeting is open, so you can attend whether you are troubled by your own drinking, supporting someone else, or simply want to see what AA is like before committing to anything. The same venue hosts other AA meetings during the week, including a Tuesday lunchtime discussion and a Thursday evening group. Wheelchair access to this first-floor meeting has not been confirmed, so check beforehand if that is essential. It is free, and no booking is ever needed.

Is this a good first meeting?

Yes. It is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, and you can bring a friend or family member for moral support. Nobody will ask you to speak; plenty of people just listen at first.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. AA meetings are free with no booking required. A voluntary collection may be taken for room hire, but there is no obligation to give.

It is held in the first-floor room of the Friends Meeting House on Butt Lane. Wheelchair access for this meeting has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking locally if you need step-free entry.
