About this meeting
Families Anonymous in Waltham Forest runs a Steps and Traditions meeting every Wednesday at 7.30pm, lasting an hour and a half, at Coppermill Primary School on Edward Road, E17. As the name suggests, the format centres on working through the twelve steps and traditions together, rather than open sharing alone, though newcomers are still welcome to simply listen. The group is for family and friends affected by a loved one's use of drugs or related behavioural problems; you do not need to bring the person you are concerned about, and many people attend on their own. It is open to anyone in that position, free to attend, and there is no need to book a place; just arrive shortly before half past seven.
Common questions
Do I have to bring the person who has the problem?
No. Families Anonymous is for you, in your own right. Many members attend alone and never bring the relative or friend whose drug use concerns them.
Is there a cost or do I need to book?
No, it is free to attend and there is no need to book in advance.
What does a 'Steps and Traditions' meeting involve?
This group works through the twelve steps and traditions as a structured study, rather than general open sharing, though how each session runs can vary.
