Sunday evenings bring Narcotics Anonymous to St Mark's Church on North Road in St Helens. The meeting runs from 6pm and lasts an hour and a half, making it a settled way to round off the weekend before the working week begins. The format varies from one Sunday to the next, so you might find a speaker sharing their experience, a topic for open discussion, or a reading from NA literature. As an open meeting, it welcomes anyone with a desire to stop using drugs, along with family, friends and anyone curious about how the fellowship works. If it's your first time, there's no need to say anything or sign up in advance. Turn up, find a seat, and listen for as long as you like.
Can I come if I'm not sure I have a problem, or if I just want to support someone?
Yes. This is an open meeting, so anyone can attend, including family, friends, and people who simply want to understand what Narcotics Anonymous involves. If you have a desire to stop using drugs, you're especially welcome, but nobody will ask you to explain why you're there.
Do I need to book, and is there any cost?
There's no booking and no charge. Just arrive at St Mark's Church, 162 North Road, WA10 2TZ, in time for the 6pm start. NA has no dues or fees; a voluntary collection is passed round to cover costs like room hire, but you never have to contribute.
What happens at the meeting and how long does it last?
The meeting lasts an hour and a half and the format varies each week, so it could be a speaker, a shared topic, or a reading from NA literature. You're free to listen without saying anything. Newcomers are always given space and never put on the spot.
