About this meeting
If you're new to Narcotics Anonymous and looking for somewhere to start in Northampton, this Tuesday evening meeting at St Francis Church in Duston is set up with beginners in mind. Doors open for a 7.30pm start, and the session runs for about an hour and fifteen minutes. The format alternates week to week between a speaker sharing their experience and a literature study, so you'll hear a range of ways people have found recovery. It's a share meeting, meaning members speak in turn, and being newcomer-focused there's no pressure to say anything at all. The venue is wheelchair accessible and has parking available on site. Please note pets aren't allowed. St Francis Church sits on Eastfield Road, NN5 6TQ.
Common questions
Can I come along if I'm not sure I'm ready?
Yes. This is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, including family, friends and professionals. It's specifically a newcomers meeting, so it's a good first step whether you're certain or still weighing things up. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using drugs. You can simply listen if you'd rather not share.
Do I need to book or pay anything?
No. There's no booking and no charge to attend NA meetings. You can just turn up before the 7.30pm start. Members make small voluntary contributions to cover room hire and refreshments, but nobody is expected to give, especially newcomers.
Is there parking and step-free access?
Yes, parking is available at St Francis Church, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. Please be aware that pets aren't permitted at this meeting.
