About this meeting
The New Beginnings Group meets every Wednesday at 1pm in the Carmelite Community Centre on Aungier Street, Dublin 2. It's a lunchtime Narcotics Anonymous meeting, which makes it handy if you want to break up the working day or fit recovery around a busy schedule in the city centre. The hour-long format gives members time to share honestly and hear how others are staying clean, one day at a time. This is a closed meeting, so it's held for people who have a desire to stop using drugs. Aungier Street sits at the heart of Dublin 2, well served by nearby bus routes and within walking distance of the city centre. If you're new, you're welcome to arrive a little early and settle in.
Common questions
Who can attend this meeting?
This is a closed Narcotics Anonymous meeting, which means it's for anyone with a desire to stop using drugs. If that's you, you're welcome. Closed simply refers to who attends, not the doors being shut. Open meetings welcome family and friends, but this one is for members and newcomers seeking recovery.
Do I need to book or pay to come along?
No booking is needed and there's no cost. NA is free and self-supporting through members' own contributions, so a small voluntary donation is passed around to cover expenses like room hire and tea, but you're never expected to give anything. Just turn up on Wednesday for 1pm.
