Our meetings | First164YP

Daily meeting

First164YP, which is part of Alcoholics Anonymous, is a fellowship of people who come together daily to help solve their drinking problem.

Participation is free and open to anyone who wants to do something about their drinking.

Our primary purpose is to help alcoholics achieve sobriety.

In our meetings, we share from Alcoholics Anonymous literature, and on the first Tuesday of each month we hold a speaker meeting.

You are welcome to simply sit and listen to learn more about recovery, or to share about your own experience—participation is completely up to you.

Our meetings are on-line using Zoom 7 days/week at (20:00) 8pm CET (Berlin, Brussels, Paris, Rome Time)
