Living in the Solution brings a weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meeting to Pill, the village on the Somerset side of the Avon a few miles west of Bristol. It meets on Thursdays at 7.30pm at The Salvation Army, 1 Heywood Road, and lasts an hour. The name reflects the meeting's outlook, concentrating on what works in sobriety rather than dwelling on the past. It is open, so anyone may attend, including family, friends and professionals as well as anyone with a desire to stop drinking. The venue is wheelchair accessible. For people in Pill, Easton-in-Gordano and Portishead's outskirts, it saves the trip into Bristol for a midweek meeting.
Do I have to live in Pill to attend?
No. AA meetings have no catchment areas; anyone may attend any meeting. Pill's meeting draws people from the village and the surrounding area alike.
Can family members come?
Yes. It is an open meeting, so family, friends and professionals are welcome alongside people who want to stop drinking.
Is the venue accessible and is there a cost?
The Salvation Army building on Heywood Road is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is free with no booking required.
