The Back To Basics group meets every Tuesday evening in Wallsend, gathering in the church hall at Our Lady & St. Columba's Church on Carville Road. Starting at 18:30 and running for an hour and a half, it's a Narcotics Anonymous meeting shaped around people finding their feet in recovery. The beginner and newcomer focus means you won't be left guessing about how things work, and the speaker format gives you a chance to hear someone share their experience openly. There's parking available at the venue, and the hall is wheelchair accessible. This is a members' meeting, so it's for anyone with a desire to stop using drugs. Turn up a few minutes early if you'd like to settle in before it begins.
Who can attend this meeting?
This is a closed meeting, which means it's for people who have a desire to stop using drugs. If that's you, you're welcome regardless of what you've used or how long you've been struggling. Closed simply refers to who attends, not that the doors are shut to newcomers.
Do I need to book or pay anything?
No. There's no booking and no charge to attend. Narcotics Anonymous has no dues or fees, so just come along on the Tuesday. A voluntary contribution is passed round to cover costs like the room hire, but you're never expected to give.
Is there parking and step-free access?
Yes, there's parking available at the venue, and the church hall is wheelchair accessible. If you have other access needs, it's worth arriving a little early so someone can help you get settled.
