Questions about AA in Essex

How many AA meetings are within driving distance of Essex?

30 inside 5 miles, across 3 cities. Every row says which town it is in and how far.

Which day is busiest for AA in Essex?

Every day. Wednesday is the busiest with 6 meetings, and no day is empty.

21 of the 30 listed here are marked open, which means anyone can attend, including family. 9 are marked closed, for people who want to stop drinking.

Can I get a court card signed at a meeting in Essex?

Usually, though it is the group's decision and not a guaranteed one. A few groups decline because they take the view that A.A. should not be part of a legal process, and that is a legitimate position within the fellowship. If no local group will sign, another on this page may.

What happens at a birthday meeting?

Markers for elapsed time, given out when somebody wants one. A birthday meeting marks a member's year and often involves a cake, which is the least solemn thing that happens in any of these rooms. A larger meeting hands out more of them, which is worth seeing once.
