About this meeting

Stanpit Men's Step is a men-only Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Christchurch, held every Tuesday at 7.30pm in Stanpit Village Hall at 162 Stanpit, with the entrance on the right-hand side of the building. The meeting lasts an hour and twenty-five minutes and focuses on studying the Twelve Steps, the heart of the AA programme. It is a closed meeting, which means it is for men who have a desire to stop drinking; some men find it easier to talk honestly about their drinking in male-only company, and that is exactly what this group offers. There is no cost and no need to book or be referred, and you can attend from your very first day without a drink or your first attempt at one. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed.

Common questions

Is this meeting really only for men?

Yes, Stanpit Men's Step is a men-only AA meeting. It is also a closed meeting, meaning it is for men who have a desire to stop drinking. Women looking for AA in the Christchurch area can find mixed and women's meetings listed elsewhere in the directory.

Do I need to book, pay, or be referred by anyone?

No. AA is free and self-referred; you simply turn up. The entrance to Stanpit Village Hall is on the right-hand side of the building, and it helps to arrive a few minutes before the 7.30pm start.

What happens at a step meeting?

The group studies the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, usually reading from AA literature and then sharing their own experience of putting the steps into practice. It is a good way to understand how the programme works, and you can just listen if you prefer.
