About this meeting
The Step To Freedom Group meets every Monday evening in the Hollies Room at Clonminam Industrial Estate in Portlaoise, Co. Laois. Starting at 20:00 and running for around an hour and a quarter, this Narcotics Anonymous meeting gives people a steady, weekly place to sit with others who understand what recovery involves. It's a closed meeting, so it's kept for those who share a desire to stop using drugs — a chance to talk openly among people walking the same path. Portlaoise sits well for anyone travelling from around Laois and the midlands, and the industrial estate location on the town's edge means there's room to arrive quietly. Whether you've been in NA for years or are turning up for the very first time, you'll find a welcome here.
Common questions
Can I come to this meeting?
This is a closed NA meeting, which means it's for people who have a desire to stop using drugs. If that's you — whether it's your first time or you've been around a while — you're welcome. Closed simply refers to who attends, not that the meeting is cancelled or the doors are locked.
Do I need to book or pay anything?
No. There's no booking, no fee and no sign-up. Narcotics Anonymous meetings are free to attend; a small voluntary collection helps cover room costs, but you're never obliged to give anything. Just turn up before 20:00 on the Monday.
Is the venue accessible?
The meeting is held in the Hollies Room at Clonminam Industrial Estate, Portlaoise. We don't have confirmed details about wheelchair access or hearing support for this venue, so if you have specific access needs it's worth checking ahead with the local NA contact before you travel.
