About this meeting
The Alternate ESH/STEP Meeting is an open Narcotics Anonymous meeting held every Wednesday at 6.30pm at St Stephen's Church on St Stephens Street in Bristol, running for an hour. As the name suggests, the format alternates weekly between an experience, strength and hope share and a step share, so the focus changes from one week to the next. Being open, it welcomes anyone, including family and friends, alongside people with a desire to stop using drugs, and children and pets are both welcome. Enter via The Secret Café to reach the meeting. There is no charge to attend and no need to book a place in advance. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue.
