Ringmer Step and Tradition meets on Fridays at 12.15pm at Ringmer Village Hall on Lewes Road, in the village of Ringmer near Lewes, and runs for an hour and a half. The meeting studies AA's Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions in turn, pairing the personal programme of recovery with the principles that hold groups together, which gives it a steady, structured feel. It is a closed meeting, meaning attendance is kept to those who have a desire to stop drinking; there is no other requirement, no paperwork and no cost. The village hall is wheelchair accessible. A lunchtime start makes it reachable for people who cannot get to evening meetings, and there is no need to book.
