New Chapter (Back To Basics) is a Narcotics Anonymous meeting that gathers every Monday evening at St Georges Community Centre on Bothwell Road in Collyhurst, north Manchester. Starting at 6.30pm and running for around ninety minutes, it's a good fit if you're finding your feet in recovery. The format leans on the fundamentals: newcomers are welcomed, and the group works through the Basic Text with literature study, book study and speaker shares woven in. That mix gives you both the theory and the lived experience behind the NA programme. The venue is wheelchair accessible. Worth noting that the community centre is unavailable on public holidays, so check before setting out on a bank holiday Monday.
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. Closed simply refers to who attends, not the doors being shut. Open meetings, by contrast, welcome family, friends and professionals too.
Do I need to book or pay anything?
No. There's no booking and no charge to attend. Narcotics Anonymous is free and self-supporting through members' own contributions, so just turn up on a Monday. A small voluntary collection may go round, but you're never obliged to give anything, especially as a newcomer.
Is the venue accessible?
Yes, St Georges Community Centre is wheelchair accessible. Do keep in mind the venue is unavailable on public holidays, so if a bank holiday falls on a Monday it's worth confirming the meeting is running before you travel.
