Stillorgan Beginners Morning is an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held every Friday at 10.30am in Monkstown. The meeting takes place at St. John of Gods Hospital, on the Stillorgan Road. The group is part of the AA meetings that serve Co. Dublin. It is a closed meeting, so it is kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the general public. Nothing else is asked of those who attend beyond a desire to stop drinking. The meeting is aimed at those newer to the programme. Like all AA meetings, there is no cost and no need to book in advance.
Is this an open meeting?
It is open to anyone who has a desire to stop drinking. As a closed meeting it is not intended for the general public, family members or professionals wanting to observe.
How much does it cost to attend?
Alcoholics Anonymous does not charge for meetings and there is no booking system, so you can simply come along to St. John of Gods Hospital for the 10.30am start on Friday.
What should I know about accessibility?
We do not currently hold confirmed accessibility information for St. John of Gods Hospital, so it is sensible to check ahead if step-free access is important to you.
