Thursday brings a second weekly meeting to Cuan Mhuire in Coolarne, Turloughmore, Co. Galway, again starting at 8.30pm. Like the Tuesday meeting held at the same treatment centre, it is kept for AA members with a desire to stop drinking, rather than being open to the general public. Attendance is free and there is no booking system, so people typically arrive a few minutes before the start. The format follows the familiar Alcoholics Anonymous pattern of a brief reading followed by open sharing, and no one is obliged to speak. Turloughmore sits between Athenry and Galway city, and Cuan Mhuire has long been a meeting point for the local fellowship. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for the venue, so anyone with mobility needs should ask the group in advance.
