About this meeting

Morningside Thriving Not Surviving meets on Wednesday evenings at 7pm inside the Royal Edinburgh Hospital on Morningside Place, running for an hour and a half. Hosting a meeting within the hospital grounds makes it a natural option for patients, staff and local residents alike, and the name suggests a focus on moving beyond simply getting through each day towards a fuller recovery. It is a closed AA meeting, meaning attendance is for those with a desire to stop drinking rather than open to everyone. The venue has wheelchair access, which is a useful confirmation given the hospital setting and the range of mobility needs among people who might attend.

Common questions

Who is this meeting open to?

This is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, which means it is for anyone with a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the general public. Newcomers are welcome as long as that describes them, including people early in sobriety or simply exploring whether AA is for them.

Is there a cost, and do I need to book in advance?

No, it is completely free and there is no need to book or register in advance. Simply arrive for the start time and take a seat; AA meetings run on voluntary donations towards room hire and literature, but nobody is asked to pay to attend.

Is the Royal Edinburgh Hospital venue wheelchair accessible?

Yes, wheelchair access is confirmed at this venue on Morningside Place.
