About this meeting
Read This Book More Than Once meets every Thursday at 7.30pm at Somerstown Central Community Centre on River's Street in Southsea, Portsmouth, running for an hour and a quarter and centred on Big Book study, as the name suggests. It is a closed Cocaine Anonymous meeting, for people with a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances rather than open to the general public. The venue has wheelchair access, and a chit system operates, so an attendance slip can be signed for anyone who needs evidence for court, probation or treatment. There is no cost to attend and no need to book a place. Street parking is available nearby.
