About this meeting

Friday nights at 8pm bring the Just For Today meeting to Pilgrims Hatch Parish Hall, on the corner of Orchard Lane and Ongar Road in Pilgrims Hatch, north of Brentwood town centre. It is an open meeting, so alongside anyone with a desire to stop drinking, family members, friends and professionals are welcome to come and listen. The meeting lasts an hour, making it a steady, manageable way to end the working week, and its name reflects the AA idea of taking recovery one day at a time. There is no cost and no need to book a place; people simply arrive shortly before eight and take a seat. If it is your first meeting, you will not be asked to speak unless you want to.
