eight step RECOVERY meetings

Please note there are no meetings on the following dates in 2026:

10, 17, 24 & 31 May

Warm and friendly weekly meetings for anyone in recovery, at whatever stage.

Meetings are drop-in and in-person, no need to book. Just come along to the Bristol Buddhist Centre, where somebody will be at the door to let you in.

This meeting explores recovery through the lens of the Buddhist teachings, and Buddhism through the lens of recovery. If you are attending Twelve Step meetings, this can be your expression of your eleventh step. If you are not, this can be a way to approach your recovery.

The meetings use “Eight Step Recovery – Using the Buddha’s Teachings to Overcome Addiction”. This book is available online from Windhorse Publications or from the Centre Bookshop, and is the main source of content for shares and discussions.

Although this meeting uses the Bristol Buddhist Centre’s facilities, it is not one of their activities. We are an independent group of people, all in recovery, undertaking the Eight Step programme, meeting weekly in this peer-led recovery group.

We invite you to donate to express appreciation for the use of the space each time you come along. And, of course, please don’t feel you can’t come along if you can’t meet this request.

Bristol Buddhist Centre trustees recognise their responsibility to safeguard adults using the premises, or children connected to those adults, who may be deemed to be at risk of harm. In consultation with the Eight Step group, we have agreed that everyone in the group bears responsibility for passing on information to the Centre’s Safeguarding Officer if they believe a child or adult is at risk of significant harm.
