Bournemouth 12 Step Study meets on Tuesday evenings at Citygate Church on Tuckton Road in Southbourne, from 7.45pm to 9pm. As the name suggests, the meeting studies AA's Twelve Steps, so each week centres on the recovery programme itself rather than general discussion. It is open to everyone: people who want to stop drinking, plus family, friends and professionals who want to understand what AA involves. The church has wheelchair access. The group also operates a chit system, so if you need proof of attendance for a court, probation or treatment requirement, a member can sign a slip for you. It is free, there is no booking, and newcomers are welcome to simply listen.
Do I need to know the Twelve Steps before coming?
Not at all. The meeting exists to study the steps together, and newcomers can just listen. No books or preparation are needed for a first visit.
Can family members or professionals attend?
Yes. This is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, including people supporting a friend or relative.
Can I get proof that I attended?
Yes. The group runs a chit system and can sign attendance slips for court, probation or treatment purposes. The venue is also wheelchair accessible.
