Braintree Recovery meets on Tuesday evenings at 8pm at the Elim Church on Manor Street in Braintree town centre, running for an hour and a half. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, which means the room is not restricted to members: anyone with a desire to stop drinking is welcome, and so are the people around them, whether family, friends or professionals wanting to see how AA works in practice. Sharing is voluntary, first names are all that is used, and a newcomer can sit quietly through the whole meeting without any pressure. The church is wheelchair accessible. As with all AA meetings, attendance is free and there is nothing to book; just arrive before 8pm.
Can I bring my partner or a friend?
Yes. Braintree Recovery is an open meeting, so family, friends and professionals are welcome to attend alongside anyone who wants to stop drinking.
Does it cost anything?
No. AA meetings are free, with no booking or referral needed; just come to the Elim Church on Manor Street for 8pm on Tuesday.
Is there wheelchair access?
Yes, the Elim Church is wheelchair accessible. The meeting lasts an hour and a half, finishing at 9.30pm.
