On Thursdays at 7.30pm, Derbyshire Recovery Partnerships on St Mary's Gate in Chesterfield hosts an open Step & Tradition meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. Running for an hour and a half, the format focuses on discussing the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions in turn, giving members and visitors alike a chance to explore the principles behind the programme rather than simply sharing personal updates. As an open meeting, family, friends and professionals are welcome alongside AA members. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and as with the Tuesday Big Book Reading held in the same building, there is no fee to attend and no need to book a place in advance.
