Southmead Sobriety is a Monday evening Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in north Bristol, held at 7pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Wigton Crescent, Southmead. It runs for an hour and is a closed meeting, meaning it is intended for people who have a desire to stop drinking rather than for family, friends or professionals, who would be better suited to one of Bristol's open meetings. That focus tends to make the sharing frank and to the point. The venue is wheelchair accessible, so step-free entry is not a worry. Starting the week with a meeting works well for plenty of people, and Southmead Sobriety offers exactly that on the north side of the city.
It says this is a closed meeting. What does that mean?
A closed AA meeting is for people who have, or think they might have, a desire to stop drinking. It is not that the venue is shut; it just is not set up for observers or supporters. If drinking is the issue you want help with, you are welcome.
Is there wheelchair access?
Yes, the venue on Wigton Crescent is wheelchair accessible.
What will it cost me to attend?
Nothing. AA meetings are free. A basket is usually passed for voluntary contributions towards rent and refreshments, but nobody is expected to give.
