About this meeting
Windmill Hill Steps takes place every Wednesday at 7pm at Windmill Hill City Farm on Philip Street, Bedminster, one of south Bristol's better-known community spaces. The meeting lasts an hour and, as the name suggests, works through the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, so over time you hear the whole programme unpacked by people who are living it. It is a closed meeting, held for those who have a desire to stop drinking; anyone in that position is welcome, but it is not set up for family, friends or professionals, who can attend one of Bristol's open meetings instead. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and the farm setting makes it an easy place to find.
Common questions
The listing says closed. Am I allowed to just turn up?
Yes, if you have a desire to stop drinking, or think you might. Closed only means the meeting is reserved for people dealing with their own drinking rather than observers. Nobody needs an invitation.
What does a Steps meeting involve?
The meeting focuses on the Twelve Steps, AA's programme of recovery, usually taking a step as the theme for sharing. Newcomers can simply listen; there is no pressure to speak.
Is there wheelchair access and any cost?
The venue at Windmill Hill City Farm is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is free with no booking required.
