About this meeting
Rarely Have We Seen A Person Fail meets on Thursday evenings at VIA, 1 Station Road, Newbury, starting at 6.45pm and running for about an hour. The name is drawn from a well-known Big Book passage about the effectiveness of working the programme thoroughly. This is a members-only Cocaine Anonymous meeting for those with a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances, built around speaker shares alongside the group's chit system, which marks time in recovery. Parking is available nearby, useful for the early evening slot. Wheelchair access at the venue has not been confirmed, so anyone with accessibility needs is advised to contact the group in advance of attending.
