Every Monday evening in Weston-super-Mare, this Narcotics Anonymous group meets at St Saviour's Church on Locking Road for a study of the Basic Text, NA's core piece of literature. Starting at 7.30pm and running for an hour and a half, the meeting works through passages together and then opens up for members to share. Reading and discussing the text as a group is a steady way to understand the NA programme, and there's plenty of room to listen if you'd rather not speak. This is a members' meeting, held for people who want to stop using drugs. If Mondays suit you and you're looking for a regular anchor to the week, this group is worth trying.
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 to come along. Open meetings, which family and friends can attend, are held by other groups. You don't need to have been to NA before or to introduce yourself if you'd rather just listen.
Do I need to book or pay?
No. There's no charge and no booking needed. Just turn up on Monday before 7.30pm at St Saviour's Church, 74 Locking Road, Weston-super-Mare, BS23 3EN. NA has no dues or fees, though members pass a basket to cover room hire and refreshments if you'd like to contribute.
What happens in a Basic Text study meeting?
The group reads sections from NA's Basic Text and then discusses and shares around what's been read. It runs for about an hour and a half. It's a good format if you want to get familiar with the programme itself, and no one is put on the spot to speak.
