About this meeting

Friends In Recovery meets twice a week in Newton Aycliffe, and this is the Tuesday evening session: 6.30pm at the Youth & Community Centre on Burn Lane, lasting an hour. It is a closed AA meeting, meaning it is intended for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking; complete newcomers count and are welcome to come along without any introduction. The group operates a chit system, so if you need signed evidence of attendance for court, probation or a treatment provider, the secretary can sign your slip at the end. The centre is wheelchair accessible. There is no charge and nothing to arrange in advance, and a Friday morning session runs at the same venue.
