Every Tuesday evening in Mallow, this Narcotics Anonymous group meets at the Social Services Center on New Road. Things get underway at 7:30pm and run for an hour and a half, giving members time to share honestly and hear how others are staying clean. It's a members-only meeting, which simply means it's set aside for people who want to stop using drugs rather than for observers or the wider public. If you're new to NA, arriving a few minutes early gives you a chance to settle in before the meeting opens. You don't need to have any experience of NA or know anyone there. Just turning up and listening is enough for a first visit, and no one will pressure you to speak.
Who can attend this meeting?
This is a closed meeting, which means it's for anyone who has a desire to stop using drugs. If that's you, you're welcome regardless of how long it's been or where you are with things. Closed meetings are kept for members and newcomers rather than family, friends or professionals, so the sharing stays focused on recovery from addiction.
Do I need to book or pay anything?
No. There's no booking, no fee and no register to sign. NA is self-supporting through members' own contributions, so a basket may be passed round, but you're never expected to give anything, especially on a first visit. Just come along to the Social Services Center on New Road for 7:30pm on Tuesday.
How long does the meeting last?
The meeting runs for an hour and a half, starting at 7:30pm and finishing around 9:00pm. You're free to leave if you need to, though many members stay for the whole session and often chat informally afterwards.
