About this meeting
It Works - It Really Does takes its name from a line often heard around Alcoholics Anonymous, and meets on Friday evenings at 7pm at York Street Community Centre, York Street, Stockport. The meeting runs for an hour and a half, wrapping up at 8.30pm, and offers a way to start the weekend steadied rather than tempted. It is a closed meeting, which means it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, or who have begun to question their drinking; anyone in that position can attend without arrangement, and first-timers are welcome to just listen. The community centre is wheelchair accessible, and as with every AA meeting there is no charge.
Common questions
Can I attend if I'm not certain I want to stop drinking?
Yes. Closed meetings are for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking, and uncertainty is a normal place to start. You will not be asked to prove anything.
Is there a cost or booking system?
No. The meeting is free and nothing needs booking. Arrive at York Street Community Centre shortly before 7pm on Friday.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes, York Street Community Centre is wheelchair accessible.
