About this meeting
Thursday evenings at the Friends Meeting House in Norton are given over to Step 11, the part of AA's programme concerned with prayer and meditation. The meeting starts at 7pm at 49 The Green, Stockton-on-Tees, and lasts an hour, with a quieter, more reflective feel than a general share. You do not need to be religious to attend; members approach the step in their own individual ways. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is intended for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking, and that includes anyone walking in for the first time. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and like every AA meeting it is free, with no booking or referral needed.
Common questions
Do I have to be religious to come to a Step 11 meeting?
No. Step 11 concerns prayer and meditation, but members interpret it in their own ways, and no religious belief is required to attend or take part.
Can family or friends come along?
This is a closed meeting, so it is reserved for people who have, or think they may have, a desire to stop drinking. Supporters can try the open Saturday morning meeting at the same venue.
Is there a charge or booking, and is it accessible?
No charge and no booking, and the Friends Meeting House at 49 The Green is listed as wheelchair accessible.
