About this meeting
The Newcomers Meeting is held every Tuesday at 7pm at St John's Church in Buckhurst Hill, running for an hour and a quarter. It is an open Cocaine Anonymous meeting, with particular focus on supporting people new to the fellowship, though family, friends and professionals are equally welcome to attend. The format combines Big Book study with open sharing, giving newer members a chance to hear how others have approached recovery from cocaine and other mind-altering substances. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and a chit system operates for anyone needing an attendance slip signed for court, probation or treatment purposes.
