Tavistock 12 Steps & 12 Traditions meets on Friday evenings at 7pm at The Printworks on Pym Street, in the centre of Tavistock, and lasts an hour. The group studies the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, the book in which AA's co-founder set out both the recovery programme and the principles that hold groups together; working through it is one of the best ways to understand not just how members get sober but how AA itself functions. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking; that desire is the only requirement, and first-timers need no referral or introduction. It is free and unbooked. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this meeting.
Who can attend this meeting?
It is a closed AA meeting, so it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking. Newcomers with that desire are welcome from day one. Family, friends and professionals should choose an open meeting, such as Tavistock Living Sober on Sundays at the same venue.
Is there a charge or booking system?
No. The meeting is free and you attend simply by turning up at The Printworks on Pym Street before 7pm on Friday.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Access has not been confirmed for this Friday meeting. The Sunday AA meeting at the same venue is listed as wheelchair accessible if step-free access is essential.
