About this meeting
Now We Are Free meets on Saturdays at 19:30 for around an hour in the Discharge Lounge at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, off Old Dalkeith Road. It is an open, in-person meeting welcoming newcomers, using hospital meeting space to reach members and patients who might not otherwise find their way to a community venue. Anyone identifying with a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances is welcome to attend, and the Saturday evening timing gives the group a weekend option alongside the fellowship's other Edinburgh meetings. The Royal Infirmary sits on Little France Crescent, off Old Dalkeith Road, within the EH16 postcode area. A companion Friday meeting, TGI Friday, runs at the same venue.
