About this meeting
The Sobriety Bus 12 Stops 1 Promise meets on Tuesday mornings at 7am at the Salvation Army on Balham High Road, an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting running for an hour. The name plays on the idea of the Twelve Steps as stops along a single route, with one shared aim behind them, and the meeting suits those who like to start the day with a session before work. It is open, so anyone is welcome to attend, including people with a desire to stop drinking, family members, friends or professionals interested in AA. There is no charge for attending and no need to book a place beforehand; simply arrive at the venue for the start time. Wheelchair access at the Salvation Army building has not been confirmed, so check with the group if this affects you.
