Living Sober meets in Okehampton on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm at Fairplace United Church, 3 Fairplace Terrace, and lasts an hour. Named after the practical AA book of the same title, the meeting leans towards the nuts and bolts of staying away from the first drink: handling occasions, sleep, resentment and the rest of daily life. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is kept to people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking; newcomers in that position are welcome without any formality. The church has wheelchair access, and a chit system is available for court, probation or treatment attendance slips. There is nothing to pay and no booking needed.
What does closed mean at an AA meeting?
It means attendance is for people with a desire to stop drinking, including anyone still unsure. Supporters are welcome at the open Monday meeting at the same church.
Can I get an attendance chit signed?
Yes. The group operates a chit system for court, probation and treatment evidence.
Is the venue accessible and is there any cost?
Fairplace United Church has wheelchair access, and the meeting is free with no booking or referral.
