About this meeting
Port Talbot By The Book meets on Tuesday evenings at half past seven at Sandfields Methodist Church on Western Avenue, running for an hour. As the name suggests, the format follows structured reading from AA's core literature, giving people in the Sandfields area of the town a steady, text-led focus for their sharing about the desire to stop drinking. It is a closed meeting, kept for those pursuing their own recovery from alcohol rather than open to family, friends or professionals attending to observe. The church is wheelchair accessible, so mobility should not be a barrier to attending. There is no charge and no need to book ahead, you simply arrive shortly before half past seven and take a seat among a familiar Tuesday-night group.
