About this meeting

Step One Newcomers meets in Worthing every Saturday at 12 noon at St Clare's Community Hub, 6-8 Marine Place, close to the seafront in the town centre. As the name suggests, the meeting is shaped around Step One and geared towards people who are new to AA, which makes it a sensible first meeting if you have never been before. It runs for an hour and a half and is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, including family members, friends and professionals, alongside anyone with a desire to stop drinking. The hub is listed as wheelchair accessible. You will not be asked to speak, sign in or give your surname; turning up is the only requirement.

Common questions

Is this a good meeting for a first-timer?

Yes. The meeting is focused on Step One and on newcomers, so people arriving for the first time are the point of the meeting rather than an exception. You can just listen if you prefer.

Can I bring someone with me for support?

Yes. This is an open meeting, so a partner, relative or friend is welcome to sit in with you.

What does it cost?

Nothing. AA meetings are free and unbooked. A voluntary collection is taken to cover room costs, but there is no expectation on newcomers. The venue is listed as wheelchair accessible.
