About this meeting

Thank God It's Friday is New Addington's weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, held at New Addington Baptist Church, 39 Arnhem Drive, on the eastern edge of Croydon. It starts at 7.45pm on Friday and runs for an hour and a quarter, a well-placed slot for anyone who finds Friday nights the riskiest part of the week in early recovery. The meeting is open, so alongside people who want to stop drinking, family members, friends and anyone curious about AA are welcome to attend and listen. The church is wheelchair accessible. There is nothing to book and nothing to pay; you can simply arrive a few minutes before the start, and newcomers are always welcome.
