About this meeting
They Stopped In Time is a newcomers' meeting in Woolwich, named after the section of the Big Book with that title, and it puts people in their first days and weeks of sobriety at the centre of the hour. The meeting is held on Wednesdays at 8pm at St Peter the Apostle Church on Brookhill Road; use the back entrance, through the gate with a door bell. It is an open meeting, so family, friends and professionals are welcome too, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. If you have never been to Alcoholics Anonymous before, a newcomers' meeting like this is arguably the easiest possible first step. It is free, unbooked, and you need only turn up.
