Meetings

Group Conscience

Our group conscience is a collective decision-making process through which Saoirse Alcoholics Anonymous group ensures that its actions align with AA principles and the needs of its members and the community. Guided by open discussion, mutual respect, and the spirit of unity, our group conscience reflects the voice of the group as a whole.

Tradition 2,

'"For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority – a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience."

Our leaders are but trusted servants, they do not govern.

First Tuesday of every month - 19:30pm

Group Meeting

Our group meeting focuses on studying and sharing experience, strength and hope with one another through the big book of Alcoholics Anonymous. The AA program and the directions for its successful consummation can be found in the first 164 pages of the big book. The message of recovery which was first published in 1939 has not been changed or altered during the printing of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th editions. For this there are two principal reasons, "The large number of recoveries and reunited homes" (BB pg.xx). Forward to the Second Edition

If you think you have a problem with alcohol or you know someone who does and are looking for information, you are very welcome to attend our group meeting.

Every Friday - 19:30pm

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)?

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are selfsupporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety

Is AA confidential ?

Traditional 12: "Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities"

Is AA a Religious Organisation?

Alcholics Anonymous is not a religious organisation. AA does not take any particular medical point of view, though we co-operate widely with the men of medicine as well as the man of religion.
