About this meeting
Archway To Freedom gathers on Monday evenings at 7.30pm at the Compass Centre in Bristol and runs for roughly an hour and a quarter. It is a closed Cocaine Anonymous meeting for those with a desire to stop using cocaine and other mind-altering substances, and the format leans on Big Book study followed by a speaker share. A chit system is in place, so anyone needing an attendance slip signed for court, probation or a treatment provider can arrange this at the meeting. On-street parking is available nearby on Jamaica Street. It has not been confirmed whether the Compass Centre is wheelchair accessible.
