Willington's AA meeting gathers on Wednesday evenings at 7.15pm at Willington Methodist Church on Wesley Street, in the Crook area of County Durham, and runs for an hour and a quarter. It is an open meeting, which means anyone is welcome through the door: people who want to stop drinking, family members and friends who want to support them, and professionals curious about how Alcoholics Anonymous works. For a smaller town, having a weekly meeting on the doorstep can spare people a longer journey elsewhere, and the slightly extended running time leaves room for unhurried shares. The church is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost and no booking; turning up a few minutes before 7.15pm is all that is required, and nobody has to speak.
