About this meeting
Sober In Shoreditch meets every Thursday at 7.30pm at St John the Baptist Church on Pitfield Street, Hackney, and lasts an hour. It is an open meeting, so as well as people with a desire to stop drinking, anyone with an interest is welcome: a friend keeping you company on your first visit, a family member, or a professional wanting to see AA at first hand. The church is wheelchair accessible. The group runs a chit system, signing attendance slips for those who need evidence for court, probation or a treatment programme. There is nothing to pay and nothing to arrange in advance; turning up shortly before 7.30pm is all it takes.
