The Steps We Took meets on Tuesday evenings at 8pm in the Methodist Church Hall on Westbury Hill, in the old village heart of Westbury-on-Trym, north Bristol. The name echoes the Twelve Steps, and the meeting gives an hour each week to the programme that AA members follow. It is a closed meeting, which means it is held for people who have a desire to stop drinking; family members, friends and professionals are asked to attend one of the city's open meetings instead. The hall is wheelchair accessible. Westbury-on-Trym is well connected by bus to Henleaze, Southmead and the city centre, and the village setting keeps things low-key.
What does it mean that the meeting is closed?
Closed refers to who the meeting is for, not the doors. It is reserved for people with a desire to stop drinking, so newcomers worried about their own drinking are welcome; supporters should pick an open meeting.
Is the hall accessible?
Yes, the Methodist Church Hall on Westbury Hill has wheelchair access.
Do I need money or a booking?
Neither. AA meetings are free and nobody books. A voluntary collection is passed round, and giving is optional.
