About this meeting

Wigan Step 11 Share & Discussion meets every Thursday at 11.30am at Crooke Methodist Church Hall on Crooke Road in Standish Lower Ground, near Wigan. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, for those with a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the general public, and focuses on the Eleventh Step's themes of prayer and meditation as tools for maintaining conscious contact with a higher power. The late morning timing is a little unusual and can suit members who work evenings or prefer to attend before the rest of the day begins. Wheelchair access at the church hall has not been confirmed.

Common questions

What does the Step 11 focus involve

The meeting centres on the Eleventh Step, which deals with prayer and meditation as ongoing tools for sobriety, so discussion tends to be more reflective than a general share meeting.

Who can attend, and is it free

It is a closed AA meeting, for people with a desire to stop drinking rather than family, friends or professionals, and it is free with no need to book.

Is Crooke Methodist Church Hall wheelchair accessible

Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue, so it would be worth checking ahead if this matters to you.
