Chit system available.
Morpeth Step is a Thursday evening meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous at the Methodist Church on Howard Terrace, starting at 6pm and lasting an hour and a quarter. As a step meeting, it focuses on the Twelve Steps of AA, usually taking one step at a time and hearing how members apply it in daily life, which makes it a solid choice once you have decided you want what the programme offers. It is a closed meeting, reserved for people who have, or suspect they have, a desire to stop drinking; friends and family are better suited to one of Morpeth's open meetings at the same venue. The church is wheelchair accessible, attendance is free, and a chit system is available for anyone needing signed proof of attendance.
What is a closed AA meeting?
Closed means the meeting is kept to people with a desire to stop drinking, including anyone still unsure. It does not mean the meeting is full or shut; newcomers with a drinking concern are very welcome.
Can I get an attendance slip signed here?
Yes. Morpeth Step operates a chit system and can sign slips confirming attendance for court, probation or treatment providers.
Is there wheelchair access and any cost?
Yes, the Methodist Church on Howard Terrace has wheelchair access, and like all AA meetings it is free with no booking needed.
