Belgravia Step/Tradition is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting held every Thursday at 6pm at St Peter's Church, 119 Eaton Square in Westminster, in the ground floor Meeting Room reached through the main gate. The hour is spent studying AA's Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, the principles that guide personal recovery and the way groups run, so it suits people who want to dig into the programme itself rather than general discussion. Being a closed meeting, it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking, including complete newcomers, rather than for visitors or observers. There is nothing to pay and nothing to book, and the early evening time makes it manageable straight after work in central London.
I have never been to AA before. Can I come to a closed meeting?
Yes. Closed only means the meeting is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking. If you are worried about your own drinking, you belong there, whether or not you have decided anything yet.
What happens at a Step and Tradition meeting?
The meeting focuses on AA's Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, usually reading and then sharing on one of them. It is a practical way to learn how the programme works from people who use it.
Is there a charge or waiting list?
No. AA meetings are free, and you can attend without booking, referral or notice. Arrive just before 6pm on Thursday; the room is on the ground floor via the main gate.
