About this meeting

On Thursday evenings at 7.30pm, St Lawrence Chapel on St Lawrence Lane in Ashburton hosts this hour-long Step and Tradition meeting, where discussion works through AA's Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions in turn. Structured meetings like this suit people who want to understand the programme itself rather than only hear personal stories, though there is plenty of that too. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is for anyone with a desire to stop drinking, whether or not you would call yourself an alcoholic yet. Attendance is free and unbooked. Wheelchair access at the chapel has not been confirmed. The same venue also holds a Saturday lunchtime meeting at 1pm.

Common questions

Is this meeting only for AA members?

It is a closed meeting, so it is for people who have, or think they might have, a desire to stop drinking; no membership formality exists beyond that. Supporters and professionals are better suited to an open meeting.

Do I need to book or pay?

No. It is free, like every AA meeting, and you can simply turn up at St Lawrence Chapel before 7.30pm on a Thursday.

What if Thursday does not work for me?

The same chapel runs Ashburton Lunchtime on Saturdays at 1pm, giving the town two AA meetings a week.
