Westbourne Women’s Steps & Traditions

Westbourne Women's Steps & Traditions is a Friday lunchtime meeting for women in Alcoholics Anonymous, held at West Cliff Baptist Church on Poole Road in the Westbourne area of Bournemouth. It starts at 12.30pm and runs for a generous hour and a half, working through AA's Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. The meeting is closed, meaning it is for those with a desire to stop drinking, and its women-only focus gives space to talk about recovery among women; many find that combination makes honest sharing easier. The church is wheelchair accessible, and the group operates a chit system, signing attendance slips for court, probation or treatment purposes where needed. It is free to attend and no booking is required.
