About this meeting
Bristol Made A Decision borrows its name from the opening words of AA's Third Step and meets on Friday evenings at 7pm at St John's Church Hall on Lodge Causeway, Bristol. The meeting lasts an hour. It is an open meeting, so everyone is welcome: people who want to stop drinking, partners and family members, friends, and professionals who want to see how Alcoholics Anonymous works in practice. The hall is wheelchair accessible. As with every AA meeting there is no charge and no booking, and nobody will ask you to explain yourself; turning up and listening is participation enough.
