Every Monday evening in Bury St Edmunds, the Experience, Strength and Hope group meets at the Quakers Meeting House on St John's Street. This Narcotics Anonymous share meeting runs from 7pm for an hour and a quarter, giving members time to listen to one another and speak about their own recovery. As a share meeting, the format is straightforward: people take turns telling their story, and there's no pressure to say anything if you'd rather just listen. It's an open meeting, so alongside NA members you'll find family, friends and anyone curious about how the fellowship works. The St John's Street setting sits within easy reach of the town centre. If it's your first time, arriving a few minutes early helps you settle in.
Who can come to this meeting?
This is an open Narcotics Anonymous meeting, so anyone is welcome. That includes people with a desire to stop using drugs, as well as family members, friends and professionals who want to understand more about NA. You're welcome whether you plan to share or simply sit and listen.
Do I need to book, and is there a charge?
No booking is needed and there's no charge to attend. Just turn up at the Quakers Meeting House on St John's Street before 7pm on Monday. NA groups run on voluntary contributions from members, but nobody is expected to give anything, especially newcomers.
