Questions about NA in South Braintree
Are there NA meetings in South Braintree, MA?
There are 54 meetings within 10 miles of South Braintree, and the schedule above lists every one by day and time.
Do meetings run on Saturday and Sunday?
Saturday and Sunday between them have 10 of the 54.
Are there online NA meetings near South Braintree?
10 online meetings are marked in the schedule above.
How many of these meetings are open?
41 of them are marked open, meaning anyone may attend.
What time do meetings in South Braintree start?
The first of the day is 10:00 AM, the last is 8:00 PM.
Can I get an attendance slip signed at a meeting?
Some will, some will not, and the only way to know is to ask that group. The usual arrangement is to ask the chair or the secretary before the meeting starts, not during it. Attending is open to you regardless of what the group decides about the paperwork.
Am I welcome at a meeting if I take prescribed medication?
Yes, and a lot of members are in the same position. Some groups hold that medication is a matter between a member and their doctor and leave it there. What you take is nobody's business in the room unless you choose to raise it.
Which meeting is best for a newcomer?
Pick by time and distance first, and by format second. If a group does not suit you, that is information about the group rather than about meetings. Try two or three over a couple of weeks before deciding anything.
