The Greenbelt Step Club had been a hub for recovery and 12-Step meetings of all kinds since it opened in 1990 in its original location behind and beneath the former Domino’s Pizza in Roosevelt Center.  Then for reasons that remain unclear (at least to this blogger), they lost their lease – but happily found a new location just across the driveway from the old site, shown above with a plain green awning and no sign yet.

Unhappily, though, two years of renovations were needed before it could meet the many requirements for such a public space. During that time meetings relocated to churches in the area or simply went on hiatus, but last month the new club finally opened for business and already holds 31 meetings a week – here’s the whole schedule.

Back in 2012 I wrote “Behind the Step Club Door” giving all the particulars about the club, and they still apply –  except for the address change.

I heard some interesting reactions to that story, the most common being that even long-time residents thought the Step Club was an exercise studio. So I thought it couldn’t hurt to bring attention once again to this modest space with the important mission of helping people recover.
