12 Step Recovery meets on Thursday evenings at 7.30pm at St Andrews Methodist Church on St Peters Avenue in Cleethorpes, running for an hour and a half with a focus on AA's Twelve Step programme. It is a closed meeting, which in AA means it is kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking or who think they might - newcomers are exactly who it exists for, and nobody will ask you to prove anything. Anyone wanting to observe or support should try the open Saturday meeting at the same church. The venue is wheelchair accessible. Attending is free, with no booking, referral or paperwork involved.
I'm new and not sure I belong - can I come?
Yes. A closed meeting is for anyone with a desire to stop drinking, and that includes people who are still wondering whether drink is a problem for them.
My partner wants to come with me - is that possible?
This meeting is closed, so it is members-only in that sense, but the same church hosts an open meeting on Saturdays at 5pm where partners and friends are welcome.
Is the church accessible and is there a charge?
St Andrews Methodist Church is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is completely free with no booking.
