About this meeting
Sunday mornings at 11am, this share meeting gathers at 573 Southchurch Road in Southchurch and runs for an hour and a half. Members speak in turn about their drinking and their recovery, which gives anyone new a real sense of the range of people AA reaches, from every background and every stage of getting well. It is an open meeting, so family, friends and professionals are welcome alongside people who have a desire to stop drinking. The venue is wheelchair accessible. A late-morning Sunday start suits people shaking off the weekend, and the meeting shares its address with the Wednesday 12X12 and Saturday newcomers groups, so it can become part of a weekly routine. Free, with no booking.
