This Narcotics Anonymous group meets on Saturday evenings at 119 Fitzroy Avenue in south Belfast, just off the busy Botanic and university end of the city. Starting at 5pm and running for an hour, it uses the Just For Today (JFT) format, where members read and share around the daily meditation. That focus on getting through the day at hand can be a steadying place to land at the weekend. This is a members-only meeting, so it's for anyone with a desire to stop using drugs rather than a general audience. You don't need to phone ahead or sign up for anything, and there's no fee. If it's your first NA meeting, arriving a few minutes early makes it easier to settle in.
Who can attend this meeting?
This is a closed NA meeting, which means it's for people who have a desire to stop using drugs. If that's you, you're welcome. Open meetings, by contrast, allow family, friends and professionals to observe; this one is for members only.
Do I need to book, and is there a cost?
No booking is needed and there's no charge to attend. NA is self-supporting through members' own contributions, so a basket is passed for anyone who wishes to give, but you can come along and take part without paying anything.
What is a JFT meeting?
JFT stands for Just For Today, an NA daily reading. In this format the group reads that day's meditation and members share on it. It keeps things focused on the present day, which many find helpful when weekends feel long.
