Every Friday evening at 7pm, Narcotics Anonymous gathers at Portrane Community Centre on the coast north of Malahide, in the Donabate and Portrane area. The meeting runs for an hour and is a settled fixture in the week for people finding their feet in recovery and those with more time behind them. You'll find the centre at 3 Portrane Road, Ballalease North (K36 F598). This is a members' meeting, meaning it's for anyone with a desire to stop using drugs, so if that's you, you're welcome to come along. There's no need to say anything if you'd rather just listen. Turning up is the only step that matters, and NA members understand exactly what walking through the door for the first time feels like.
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 describes you, you belong here. Closed simply refers to who the meeting is for, not that the doors are shut. Open meetings, by contrast, welcome family, friends and professionals too.
Do I need to book or pay?
No. NA meetings are free to attend and there's no booking. Just arrive at Portrane Community Centre before 7pm on Friday. Members cover costs through voluntary contributions, but nobody is expected to give anything, and there's no charge to come in.
Where exactly is the meeting held?
It takes place at Portrane Community Centre, 3 Portrane Road, Ballalease North, K36 F598, in the Donabate and Portrane area north of Malahide. Wheelchair access hasn't been confirmed for this venue, so if you have specific needs it's worth checking ahead.
