About this meeting

Breightmet's Friday night meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous is held at 7pm at Red Lane United Reform Church on Newby Road, on the east side of Bolton, and runs for an hour and a half. It is a closed meeting, kept for people who have a desire to stop drinking; that includes anyone attending AA for the first time who is worried about where alcohol is taking them. Family and friends looking to learn about AA are pointed towards the area's open meetings. The church is listed as wheelchair accessible and also has provision for people who are hard of hearing. As with every AA meeting, it is free and nobody needs to book a place.

Common questions

I think I might have a desire to stop drinking. Can I attend?

Yes, absolutely. That desire, or even just the question, is the only requirement for a closed AA meeting. You can arrive unannounced, sit at the back and simply listen.

Is the venue accessible?

Yes. Red Lane United Reform Church is listed as wheelchair accessible and has provision for people with hearing difficulties.

What does it cost?

Nothing. AA meetings are free, with no booking, referral or membership. A voluntary collection covers the room hire, but newcomers are not expected to contribute.
