About this meeting
Handforth Step & Share gathers on Thursday evenings at 7.15pm at St Mary's Methodist Church on Wilmslow Road, running for an hour and a quarter. The format works through the Twelve Steps, with members sharing their experience of living each one, which gives newcomers a steady, structured introduction to how AA's programme actually works. It is a closed meeting, for anyone with a desire to stop drinking. The group signs attendance slips, known as chits, for people who need to evidence their attendance to a court, probation service or treatment provider; just ask the secretary at the meeting. The church is wheelchair accessible, and as with all AA meetings there is no charge and no booking.
