About this meeting
Portobello Recovery Group, an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Dublin 8, runs every Tuesday at 8pm. It meets at Portobello Community Hall, on Bloomfield Avenue. It adds to the spread of AA meetings across Dublin 8. As with any closed meeting, it is set aside for those who have a desire to stop drinking, not for outside visitors. No other qualification is needed beyond a wish to stop drinking, which is the sole basis for membership. It runs on a drop-in basis, so no booking is required. It follows the same broad pattern as other AA meetings, built around members supporting one another.
Common questions
Can family or friends attend?
No. It is a closed meeting, kept for those who have a desire to stop drinking, so it is not set up for visitors, relatives or professionals to sit in on.
Is there a cost, and do I need to book?
There is no cost and no need to book. Alcoholics Anonymous meetings are free to attend, so you can simply arrive at Portobello Community Hall in good time for the 8pm start on Tuesday.
Is Portobello Community Hall wheelchair accessible?
Wheelchair access at Portobello Community Hall has not been confirmed, so it is worth checking with the group beforehand if this matters to you.
