The Crossroads Story
The Crossroads Club provides a safe haven for anyone whose life has been adversely affected by, or through, the use of addictive substances. In early 1982, a small group of recovering alcoholics decided to start a facility for people who earnestly desired to maintain their total abstinence from alcohol and other drugs. This refuge would be open seven days a week; it would be
a place of fellowship and camaraderie; and, of even greater importance, a place to enhance both spirituality and the inner strength to cope with addiction. Because those who suffered were at a literal crossroads in their lives, the name “Crossroads Club” was chosen. As the years have passed, many more people have found their way to The Crossroads Club. Meeting space is provided weekly for Alcoholics Anonymous groups, Narcotics Anonymous groups, and other 12-Step groups.
12 Step Group Meetings
The doors of the Crossroads Club open each day at 6:30 a.m., meetings begin at 7:00 a.m., and end at 10:00 p.m. The meetings go on seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. There is no time off for holidays - addiction rears its ugly head 365 days a year and holidays are particularly susceptible times. The groups that meet are guided by the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous which began in 1935. The heart of the program is “letting go” of the old ways and letting a power greater than one’s own enter
one’s life. Anonymous Meetings Descriptions
