Swindon Beginners Living Sober is held every Tuesday at 7pm at Gorse Hill Community Centre on Chapel Street. As the name suggests, it is aimed squarely at people new to sobriety, using the Living Sober book alongside open sharing to talk through the practical side of the early days without drinking. It is a closed meeting, so it is restricted to those who have a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the general public, though that includes anyone taking their first look at AA. The community centre is wheelchair accessible. Arriving for 7pm gives time to settle in before the meeting gets under way.

Do I need to book a place or pay to attend

Is the venue accessible for wheelchair users
