About this meeting
Sunday mornings at 11am, the Upshire As Bill Sees It group meets at the Village Hall on Horseshoe Hill, opposite the Horseshoe pub near Waltham Abbey. Discussion is drawn from As Bill Sees It, an anthology of AA co-founder Bill W.'s writing, with a passage read and then opened up to the room. The meeting lasts ninety minutes and is open to everyone, whether you have a desire to stop drinking yourself or are alongside someone who does. The hall is listed as wheelchair accessible. It costs nothing to attend and there is no registration — a Sunday mid-morning slot suits people who prefer a daytime meeting to an evening one.
