About this meeting

The New Beginnings AA Group also meets on Fridays at 8.30pm at St. Patrick's Gateway Centre on Patrick Street, Waterford City (X91 YX61), this time running a Big Book session alongside its Tuesday Steps meeting. As a closed AA meeting, it is intended for people with a desire to stop drinking, not as an open public gathering, though anyone unsure whether they belong should still turn up and ask before it starts. There is no fee and no need to book, as with all AA meetings; attendance is on a walk-in basis. Whether the Gateway Centre offers step-free access has not been confirmed, so anyone with mobility needs may want to make enquiries locally beforehand. A Friday evening session working from the Big Book gives regulars a way to close the week out through shared study.
