The Strength and Hope group meets every Wednesday evening in Cork City, gathering at Quaker House on Summerhill South. Doors run from 20:00 for an hour, giving people a steady midweek point to check in and hear from others in Narcotics Anonymous. This is a members' meeting, held for anyone with a desire to stop using drugs, so you'll be among people who understand exactly what brought you through the door. There's no need to say much, or anything at all, on your first night. Many people come simply to listen and get a feel for how NA works. The format follows the usual NA readings and shared experience, with newcomers always given a warm welcome whenever they arrive.
Who can attend this meeting?
This is a closed meeting, which means it is for people who have a desire to stop using drugs. If that's you, you're welcome, whether it's your first meeting or your five hundredth. Closed simply refers to who attends, not the venue being shut.
Do I need to book or pay anything?
No. NA meetings are always free and there's no booking. Just turn up at Quaker House on Summerhill South before 20:00 on Wednesday. A voluntary collection covers room and refreshment costs, but you're never expected to give anything.
How long does the meeting last?
The meeting runs for around one hour, starting at 20:00. You're free to arrive a little early to settle in, and there's no pressure to speak if you'd rather just sit and listen.
