About this meeting

Monday lunchtimes at St Albans Church, 21 St Johns Road, Westcliff-on-Sea, are given over to Southend Lunchtime Recovery, an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting running from 1pm to 2.30pm. It is a closed meeting, which means it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking; there is no other requirement, no assessment and no paperwork, and a first-timer is as entitled to a seat as a member of thirty years. A daytime meeting at the start of the week suits shift workers, parents around school hours and anyone who wants to begin Monday on a steadier footing. The church is wheelchair accessible, and like every AA meeting it is free with no booking needed.

Common questions

What makes this a closed meeting?

Closed means the meeting is for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking, rather than for observers or supporters. Newcomers are very much included; the closed format is there to protect frank sharing.

Is there a fee or booking system?

No. AA meetings cost nothing and never require booking. Arrive at St Albans Church shortly before 1pm on Monday.

Is the venue accessible and how long does it run?

St Albans Church is wheelchair accessible. The meeting lasts an hour and a half, from 1pm to 2.30pm.
