About this meeting
On Wednesday evenings the Friends Meeting House at 49 The Green in Norton, Stockton-on-Tees, hosts an hour-long closed AA meeting starting at 7pm. Closed is the word that worries newcomers most and needs the least worry: it means the meeting is kept for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking, and you qualify simply by wondering whether that is you. Family, friends and professionals are better suited to the open meeting held at the same venue on Saturday mornings. The building is wheelchair accessible. Nothing needs to be paid or booked, and if speaking feels impossible on a first visit, taking a seat and listening is entirely acceptable.
