Plenty of free parking.
Newhaven How It Works meets on Thursday evenings at 7.15pm at Hillcrest Community Centre on Bay Vue Road, running for an hour and a quarter. The name comes from the chapter of the Big Book read at most AA meetings, and the focus here is on the practical workings of the recovery programme. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking; if that describes you, even tentatively, you are welcome. There is plenty of free parking at the centre, and the building is wheelchair accessible. A chit system operates, so attendance slips can be signed for court, probation or treatment evidence. The meeting is free and requires no booking.
