Amazing people and staff!!! If you truly WANT and NEED sobriety this is the place that saved my life. Great coffee bar on site and meeting schedules to fit yours. Thank you.

Praying for this club. AA should be a safe space. The 502 club and it’s leaders made it very clear, and I quote, that “In that room is AA. This is the 502 club.” in justification as they abandoned the 12 traditions, ridiculing an attendee with recent sobriety making her living amends, airing out all of her past mistakes (that occurred in the heart of her addiction) in front of an audience, and called the cops on her in secret rather than just asking her to leave. I witnessed leaders making a scene, yelling at and publicly shaming a woman who bravely chose not to stoop to their level and did as they asked. All we have is today, and love holds no record of wrongs. I witnessed leaders name calling, gossiping, and shutting down anyone who disagreed with this way of handling things, threatening to ban anyone who challenged them. I brought newcomers to this meeting and they felt unsafe, unwelcomed, and deeply disturbed by what took place, as did I. The majority response to this was that if we don’t like it, we can leave. Gladly. I would say the 502 is a great place to get sober if you are popular among the regulars, and a great place to be judged, shamed and shunned if not. People are not perfect, but there is no justification for hate. I am so thankful that there are other clubs in the area that embody true AA unity and the 12 traditions, and that my newly sober friends AND the women banned from the 502 were welcomed with love and accountability equally. That is what every addict/alcoholic needs and deserves. I know God is working in the hearts of everyone involved and I pray amends will be made for what took place.
