About this meeting
Sydenham Sobriety On Saturday offers an early weekend meeting in south-east London, starting at 9.30am at the New Testament Church Of God, 141 Newlands Park, on the Sydenham side of the Lewisham borough. The meeting lasts an hour, so it sets up the rest of Saturday rather than swallowing it. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, welcoming anyone: people with a desire to stop drinking, family members, friends and professionals alike. The church is wheelchair accessible, and the group operates a chit system for anyone needing signed evidence of attendance for court, probation or a treatment programme. Attendance is free, nothing is booked in advance, and you are free to just listen.
