About this meeting

The Thursday Thanks Meeting brings Narcotics Anonymous together each week at Southside Community Centre on Nicolson Street in Newington, Edinburgh. Doors open at 7pm and the meeting runs for an hour by candlelight, with a different member sharing their experience, strength and hope every week before the room opens up for others to speak. This is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, and children are too provided they are supervised and wearing headphones. Parking is available at the venue and the space is wheelchair accessible. Pets are welcome as well. If you are new to NA, expect a warm, unhurried hour and no pressure to say anything at all until you feel ready.
