This Sunday evening Alcoholics Anonymous meeting takes place at 7.30pm at St Michaels Parish Church, Orton Road, in the Northern Moor area of Manchester. Running for ninety minutes, it closes the weekend with a chance to take stock before the week ahead, and it mirrors the Friday night meeting held in the same building for anyone who wants two anchoring points a week. It is a closed meeting: in AA language that simply means attendance is for people with a desire to stop drinking, or those questioning their drinking, rather than for the general public. The church has wheelchair access, and you can arrive unannounced; someone will point you to the right room.
What does 'closed' mean here? Is the meeting hard to get into?
Not at all. Closed just means the meeting is for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking. If that is you, walk straight in. Family and friends are asked to attend open AA meetings instead.
Do I need to pay or reserve a place?
No. The meeting is free and there is no reservation or referral. Arrive a little before 7.30pm on Sunday at St Michaels Parish Church on Orton Road.
Is there wheelchair access?
Yes, the church is wheelchair accessible.
