Broadstone Recovery meets on Tuesday evenings at St Anthonys Church, 135 York Road in Broadstone, on the northern side of the Poole area. The meeting starts at 7.45pm and lasts an hour and a quarter. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so everyone is welcome, from someone attending for the first time to family members, friends and professionals; nobody has to speak or explain themselves. The church is wheelchair accessible, and the group operates a chit system, so if you need attendance confirmed for court, probation or a treatment programme, a slip can be signed. Attending costs nothing and requires no arrangement in advance; people simply arrive, sometimes shakily, and are met with tea and a seat.
Is this meeting suitable for newcomers?
Yes. It is an open meeting, so you can attend whatever your situation, bring someone for support, and simply listen. The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking.

Can attendance be evidenced for court or treatment?
