The Step To Freedom Group meets every Saturday evening in the Hollies Room, set within Clonminam Industrial Estate on the edge of Portlaoise. Starting at 7pm and running for an hour and a quarter, it gives Laois locals a steady end-of-week point to reconnect with the fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous. This is a closed meeting, which means it's for people who share a desire to stop using drugs — a space to speak plainly among others who understand the same struggle. Whether you're counting your first days clean or have years behind you, you're welcome to arrive, listen and share as much or as little as you like. No sign-up, no fee, just turn up and take a seat.
Who can attend this meeting?
This is a closed meeting, meaning it's open to anyone with a desire to stop using drugs. If that's you, you belong here regardless of how long you've been clean. Closed doesn't mean the meeting is shut — it means the room is kept for people in recovery rather than the wider public or observers.
Do I need to book or pay anything?
No. Narcotics Anonymous meetings are always free and there's no booking. Just come along to the Hollies Room on Saturday for 7pm. A basket may be passed for voluntary contributions towards running costs, but you're never expected to give anything.
