Meetings in Richmond follow the same 12-step program used worldwide. Many are conducted in the local language, but some cities also hold English-speaking meetings for international visitors.

Attending Your First Meeting

What to Expect

  • • Arrive a few minutes early to introduce yourself
  • • No obligation to speak - listening is perfectly acceptable
  • • Share only your first name to maintain anonymity
  • • Meetings typically last 60-90 minutes

Complete Confidentiality

Everything shared in AA meetings stays confidential. "Who you see here, what you hear here, when you leave here, let it stay here" is a fundamental principle that protects everyone's privacy and creates a safe space for honest sharing.

The only requirement to attend is a desire to stop drinking. Richmond's AA groups welcome anyone at any stage, no prior experience needed.

Alcohol support options in the United Kingdom compared by what they are, medical supervision, and how they are paid for

Outpatient treatmentCommunity alcohol services, structured sessions while living at homeUsuallyHealth service, insurance, or self funded
Sober livingDry houses and abstinence-based supported housing, shared abstinent housing with house rulesNoUsually rent paid by the resident

Is it safe to stop drinking without medical help?

Not always. Stopping suddenly after heavy daily drinking can cause withdrawal that is genuinely dangerous, which is why medically assisted withdrawal exists as its own service. If you drink heavily every day, speak to a doctor or a withdrawal service first. This is the published position of the NHS, not advice from this directory.

What is supported housing and who is it for?

Dry houses and abstinence-based supported housing are shared homes where everyone is staying sober, usually with house rules and required meeting attendance. It is housing, not treatment. Residents commonly move in after residential treatment and attend local AA meetings as part of the house agreement.

Where can I get free and confidential help now?

If you would rather speak to somebody today than read further, these are free, confidential, and not run by this site:

Service details verified against the NHS on . The AA Directory lists meetings. It does not run, recommend, rank, or take payment from any treatment provider, supported housing operator, or detox service, and has no affiliation with the groups it lists.
