Tuesday lunchtimes in Maldon offer this discussion meeting at the Friends Meeting House on Butt Lane, held in the first-floor room from 1pm to 2pm. Each week the group takes a topic and members share their experience around it, which gives newcomers a good feel for how Alcoholics Anonymous actually works in practice. The meeting is open, so anyone may attend, including family, friends and professionals. Unusually for the meetings at this venue, both wheelchair access and support for people with hearing difficulties are confirmed here. A one-hour daytime meeting suits people who cannot manage evenings, and there is no charge, no booking and no pressure to say a word.
