Getting there
About this meeting
Every Saturday at 1pm, the Experience Strength Hope Meeting brings Narcotics Anonymous members together in the sacristy of St. John's Church on Parnell Street, in the heart of Waterford City. It runs for an hour, giving people a settled midday slot to share honestly about staying clean and living life on that basis. As the name suggests, the focus is on the practical experience members draw on, the strength they find in the room, and the hope that recovery is possible. This is a members' meeting, held for anyone with a desire to stop using drugs, so you can turn up knowing everyone present understands what brings you there. No pressure to speak on your first visit, listening is enough.
