Last Monday each month is a Step meeting.
Plymouth A New Beginning actually meets a little way out of the city, at Lee Mill Congregational Church on Plymouth Road in Ivybridge, on Monday evenings at 7.30pm. The meeting runs for a generous hour and a half, and on the last Monday of each month the format changes to a Step meeting, working through one of AA's Twelve Steps in detail. It is an open meeting, so anyone can attend, whether you have a desire to stop drinking yourself or are a family member, friend or professional wanting to understand more. The church is wheelchair accessible. Like all AA meetings it is free, with no booking needed; people simply arrive a few minutes before the start and find a seat.
Can I attend if I am not an alcoholic?
Yes. A New Beginning is an open meeting, so family, friends and professionals are welcome alongside anyone with a desire to stop drinking.
Is there anything to pay or arrange in advance?
No. The meeting is free and there is no booking; just turn up at Lee Mill Congregational Church before 7.30pm on Monday.
Does the format ever change?
Yes. On the last Monday of each month it becomes a Step meeting, focusing on one of the Twelve Steps. The venue is wheelchair accessible.
