About this meeting

The Never Alone group meets every Friday evening in central Reading, gathering in the Upper Room at Abbey Baptist Church on Abbey Square. Doors lead through the main hallway and up the stairs, where you'll find the room first on the right. The meeting runs from 7.30pm for around ninety minutes and blends several formats: a candlelight setting, a study of the Just For Today book, and a speaker sharing their experience. There's a particular welcome for beginners and newcomers, so if it's your first time you won't feel out of place. This is an open Narcotics Anonymous meeting, held for anyone with a desire to stop using drugs. Parking is available outside the church or opposite, though there are only seven spaces.

Common questions

Can I come if it's my first NA meeting?

Yes. Never Alone has a beginner and newcomer focus, so first-timers are genuinely welcome. As an open meeting, anyone can attend, including family, friends and professionals, alongside those with a desire to stop using drugs.

Do I need to book or pay anything?

No. There's no booking and no charge to attend. NA meetings are free and self-supporting through members' own contributions, so just turn up before 7.30pm on Friday.

Where exactly is the room and can I park?

Enter through the main hallway, go up the stairs, and the Upper Room is the first room on the right. Note this means the room is upstairs. Parking is outside the church or opposite, but there are only seven spaces.
