About this meeting
Shoeburyness 1st meets early on Monday evenings, at 6pm, at The Salvation Army on Frobisher Way, SS3 8UT, at the eastern end of Southend-on-Sea. The 90-minute meeting is open to everyone, so alongside people who have or think they may have a desire to stop drinking, you will sometimes find family members, friends and professionals sitting in. The 6pm start means you can be home by half past seven, which works well for people who dislike late nights or rely on evening buses. The Salvation Army building is wheelchair accessible. There is nothing to pay and no advance arrangement needed; arriving a few minutes early on any Monday is all it takes.
