About this meeting
Swansea High Street Beginners meets on Wednesday evenings at half past seven at Matthews House on the High Street, running for an hour. As the name indicates, the meeting is aimed particularly at people newer to AA, offering a gentler introduction to the format alongside more established members who share a desire to stop drinking. Being a closed meeting, it is kept for those pursuing their own recovery rather than open to family, friends or professionals wishing to observe, which helps newcomers feel less exposed. The venue is wheelchair accessible, so mobility should not present a barrier to attending. There is no cost involved and nothing to book beforehand, you simply arrive shortly before half past seven, and you do not need any prior experience of meetings to take part.
