About this meeting

Thursday evenings at 8pm, the Birchington Step & Tradition group meets at the Methodist Church Hall on Canterbury Road to study AA's Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions — the principles that guide personal recovery and the running of the fellowship itself. The meeting lasts ninety minutes and is closed, an AA term meaning it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for observers. If you want to stop, you belong here regardless of whether you have ever been to a meeting before. The hall is listed as wheelchair accessible, and there is no charge and no need to book a place.

Common questions

What does 'closed' mean for this meeting?

It is AA shorthand for a meeting reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking. Newcomers who want to stop are fully welcome; friends and family are better served by one of Birchington's open meetings.

What are Steps and Traditions?

The Twelve Steps are AA's programme of personal recovery; the Twelve Traditions are the principles that keep groups running. This meeting studies both.

Do I need to pay or book?

No. The meeting is free, no booking is needed, and the hall is listed as wheelchair accessible.
