About this meeting
This Narcotics Anonymous meeting runs every Friday afternoon at 3pm at the Recovery Connections Hub, based in Leam Lane Library in Gateshead. It lasts an hour and fifteen minutes and follows a rotating format across the month: week one takes a reading and share from A Spiritual Principle A Day, week two focuses on the principles of a Step, week three is a randomly chosen spiritual topic, and week four looks at the principles of a Tradition. In a five-week month, the group reads and shares from Just For Today. One practical note on getting in: the front entrance usually closes at 3pm, but the rear entrance from the car park stays open until 4.30pm. Sign in at the Hub on the ground floor with just your first name or initials.
