Bournemouth Sacred Heart is a Monday evening Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at Sacred Heart Church, 1 Albert Road, right in the middle of Bournemouth. It starts at 7.30pm and lasts an hour and a quarter. This is a closed meeting, reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking, which includes anyone who suspects drink may be a problem even if they have decided nothing yet; it is not open to observers, and that privacy is precisely what some newcomers value. The central location makes it easy to reach by bus or on foot from most of town. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this venue. Like every AA meeting, it is free and requires no booking or referral of any kind.
Can I attend if I am not sure I am an alcoholic?
Yes. A closed meeting is for anyone with a desire to stop drinking, however tentative. You do not need a diagnosis or a decision, and you will not be asked to prove anything.
Why can't my partner come in with me?
Closed meetings are kept to people dealing with their own drinking so that everyone can speak freely. Open AA meetings elsewhere in Bournemouth welcome family and friends.
Is there wheelchair access?
Access at Sacred Heart Church has not been confirmed. If this matters for you, contact AA's national helpline before attending and they can advise or suggest an alternative meeting.
