About this meeting
On Thursdays, the Newtownabbey Abbey group meets at midday in Whiteabbey Methodist Church Hall on Shore Road, Newtownabbey, Co. Antrim, alongside its Monday and Saturday sessions at the same venue. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, and first-time attendees are welcome if that applies to them. A Zoom option runs alongside the in-person meeting for anyone unable to attend the church hall, with the login details available from the group. There is no charge either way, and no need to book a place beforehand. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue, so anyone with mobility needs is encouraged to check directly with the group before coming along.
