Saturday evenings in central Bath bring a Step & Tradition meeting of Narcotics Anonymous to Oasis Church, on Fountain Buildings just off The Paragon. Running from 18:30 for around an hour and a half, the session works through NA's Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, with time for members to share their own experience alongside the reading. It's a settled format that suits people who want to go deeper into the recovery programme, though newcomers are just as welcome to sit in and listen. As an open meeting, anyone with an interest in NA can attend, whether you're finding your feet or supporting someone who is. The central location makes it straightforward to reach on foot from town.
Can I come along if I'm new or not sure NA is for me?
Yes. This is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, including people who are new, family, friends and professionals. NA is for anyone with a desire to stop using drugs, and you're free to come and listen without saying anything until you feel ready.
Do I need to book or pay anything?
No. There's no booking and no charge to attend. NA is self-supporting through members' own contributions, so a basket is passed round if you'd like to give, but nobody is expected to and newcomers never pay.
How long does the meeting last and what happens?
It starts at 18:30 and runs for about an hour and a half. The format focuses on NA's Steps and Traditions, with a reading followed by members sharing their experience of working the programme.
