The Alternative Group is a Narcotics Anonymous meeting that gathers each Thursday evening in Sligo, running from 7pm for one hour. You'll find it at 11 Devins Drive, postcode F91 RC2N, on the town's north side. This is a members-only meeting, which in NA terms means it's kept for people who have a desire to stop using drugs — a space to share honestly with others who understand the same struggle. Regular weekly meetings like this one give a steady point in the week, whether you've been in recovery a while or are only just thinking about it. Turning up is enough; there's no need to speak until you're ready, and everything shared stays within the room.
Who can attend this meeting?
This is a closed, members-only NA meeting, meaning it's for anyone with a desire to stop using drugs. If that's you, you're welcome — including if it's your very first time. Meetings that are closed keep the room to people in recovery so members can share openly. Family, friends and professionals are not part of closed meetings, but plenty of open NA meetings exist for them.
Is there any cost or do I need to book?
No. There's no charge to attend and no booking needed — just come along on the Thursday. Narcotics Anonymous has no dues or fees; groups pass a basket for voluntary contributions to cover room hire and refreshments, but you're never expected to give anything, especially as a newcomer.
