About this meeting

Midweek in Colchester, this Wednesday evening group works through the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous at the Quaker Meeting House, 6 Church Road, from 7.30pm to 9pm. Colchester Steps is a closed meeting, which means it is kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for observers; that focus often makes the sharing more direct and personal. If you are new and unsure whether you belong, the only requirement is that desire to stop, so you qualify from day one. The Meeting House is wheelchair accessible and has provision for people with hearing difficulties. Nothing needs to be arranged in advance and there is no charge at any AA meeting.

Common questions

Why is this meeting described as closed?

A closed meeting is reserved for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking. It is not a members-only club in any formal sense; a newcomer on their first day qualifies just as much as someone with decades of sobriety.

How much does it cost to attend?

Nothing. AA meetings are free and no booking is required. A voluntary collection covers room hire, but there is no pressure to contribute.

What accessibility does the venue have?

The Quaker Meeting House on Church Road is wheelchair accessible and offers support for people with hearing difficulties. The meeting lasts an hour and a half.
