About this meeting
Midweek Recovery meets on Wednesdays at 6.30pm at Portal Hall, Church Lane, Burghclere, just south of Newbury, and runs for an hour and a quarter. Its early-evening midweek slot breaks the week up nicely, which matters more than it sounds in early sobriety, when the gap between weekend meetings can feel long. This is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, meaning it is kept to people who have, or think they might have, a desire to stop drinking; anyone in that position is welcome without question. The hall is wheelchair accessible. There is nothing to pay and no booking or referral needed, and the group answers questions by email at [email protected] if you would like to know more before your first visit.
Common questions
Am I welcome if I have never been to AA before?

Does it cost anything or need booking?
No. The meeting is free, with no booking, registration or referral. Just arrive at Portal Hall before 6.30pm on Wednesday.
Is there wheelchair access?
Yes, Portal Hall on Church Lane in Burghclere is wheelchair accessible. You can email [email protected] with any access questions.
