(Rooms 127 & 128)
The 12 Steps Group was the third group to form in Montgomery, and is the longest continuously running A.A. group in the city. They meet every Tuesday evening at 6:00 p.m. The meeting splits into three discussions — a general discussion, a step study, and a beginner’s meeting.
History:
The 12 Steps Group is the second-oldest A.A. group in Montgomery. [At the time, the Downtown Group was still meeting and the Capital City Group had closed its doors.]
One of the group’s co-founders, Peter B., later served as Director and Treasurer of the General Service Board. The group met for a number of years at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church on Woodley Road. The rector of Holy Comforter, Bob Miller, also served as a trustee on the General Service Board following his retirement as Bishop of Alabama. The group moved from Holy Comforter in the later 1990s, meeting for a brief time at Cloverdale Baptist Church prior to moving to its present home at Heritage Baptist Church on Perry Hill Road.

The group was originally known as the Twelfth Step Group of Montgomery, which was first registered with GSO on December 3, 1971. In December, 1973 the group sent in a Group Change Form on which it was identified as the Twelve Steps Group. At that time the group numbered 15 members.
