About this meeting
Bristol Living Sober is a lunchtime meeting held on Wednesdays at 1pm at Badminton Road Methodist Church in Downend, Bristol, lasting an hour. It shares its name with the AA book Living Sober, a practical guide full of methods members use to stay away from the first drink. The meeting is open, so anyone is welcome, from people worried about their own drinking to relatives, friends and professionals. The church is wheelchair accessible. There is no cost and no booking, and the daytime slot makes it a good option for shift workers, retired people or anyone who finds evening meetings hard to reach.
