About this meeting

Tuesday evenings at the United Reformed Church Hall on Water Lane are home to Bishop's Stortford's Step meeting, running from 8pm for an hour and a half. The group works through AA's Twelve Steps, the heart of the recovery programme, one theme at a time, so over a stretch of weeks you hear the whole approach unpacked by people who are living it. It is a closed meeting, reserved for those who have, or suspect they may have, a desire to stop drinking; there is no test, and turning up is the only qualification. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for the hall. The meeting is free, needs no booking, and pairs naturally with the Saturday morning meeting held at the same venue.

Common questions

Do I need to know the Twelve Steps already?

No. The meeting works through the Steps week by week, and newcomers can join at any point and simply listen until they feel ready to share.

Who is this meeting intended for?

It is a closed AA meeting, for anyone who has, or thinks they may have, a desire to stop drinking. Supporters and professionals should choose an open meeting, such as the Wednesday lunchtime meeting at The Hub Church.

Is there a charge, and is the hall accessible?

The meeting is free with no booking. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for the hall on Water Lane, so check ahead if it matters to you.
