About this meeting
Newcomers Candlelit meets on Thursday evenings at 7.30pm at St Agnes' Church on Thomas Street in St Paul's, Bristol, and runs for about an hour. It is an open Cocaine Anonymous meeting, so anyone is welcome, and as the name suggests it is particularly geared towards people attending for the first time, with a candlelit setting that keeps things calm rather than clinical. A chit system operates here for members who need attendance confirmed for court, probation or treatment reasons. There is no charge, no need to book, and no expectation that a newcomer will speak unless they want to.
