About this meeting
Thirsk Discuss The Steps is held on Sunday evenings at the same Friends Meeting House on Kirkgate used by the town's Thursday group, running for about an hour. As the name suggests, the format centres on discussing the Twelve Steps, giving members a chance to explore how each one applies to their own recovery in an open, conversational setting. It is an open meeting, so anyone with a desire to stop drinking can attend, including those visiting AA for the first time. The venue is wheelchair accessible, making the Sunday evening session a workable option for attendees who need step-free access.
