Serving the Mangotsfield area on the north-eastern side of Bristol, Bristol Mangotsfield Freedom Through Recovery meets on Fridays at 8pm at St James Church on St James Street, Mangotsfield. The meeting lasts an hour. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so the room is open to anyone: people who want to stop drinking, family and friends, and professionals with an interest in recovery. The church is wheelchair accessible.
