The Format of the Meeting is a Fellow Reads for One of the Seven NA Cards and Shares Back for 5-10 Minutes and then Open for General Sharing.
HOPE - Hold On Pain Ends is a Narcotics Anonymous meeting that gathers each Thursday at 1pm in Dundee city centre, meeting at Meadowside St Pauls Church on Nethergate. Access is via the side entrance, not the main church doors. The format is straightforward: a fellow reads one of the seven NA cards, shares back on it for five to ten minutes, and the meeting then opens for general sharing. It runs for an hour and combines literature study with open sharing, so there's room to listen or to speak as you feel able. This is an open meeting, and children and pets are welcome, which can make things easier if you're short of childcare or want a lower-key first visit.
Who can attend this meeting?
This is an open Narcotics Anonymous meeting, so anyone is welcome, including family, friends and interested professionals, alongside anyone with a desire to stop using drugs. Children and pets are also welcome.
Do I need to book or pay?
No. There's no booking and no charge to attend. NA is self-supporting through members' own contributions, but there is no fee and newcomers are never expected to give anything. Just turn up on the day.
How do I get in?
Use the side entrance to Meadowside St Pauls Church at 118 Nethergate, DD1 4EH, rather than the main doors. Wheelchair access hasn't been confirmed for this venue, so contact the meeting ahead if you have specific access needs.
