Question 1

How do I find an NA meeting in Lyneham?

Accepted Answer

Find NA meetings in Lyneham at ukna.org or call the NA helpline on 0300 999 1212 (10am–midnight). Meetings are listed by day, time, and location. Many areas around Lyneham also offer online meetings via Zoom if in-person attendance is difficult.

Question 2

Is NA only for heroin addicts?

Accepted Answer

No. NA (Narcotics Anonymous) is for anyone with a problem with any drug — heroin, cocaine, cannabis, prescription drugs, MDMA, ketamine, alcohol, or any other substance. NA's message is about addiction as a whole, regardless of which specific substance you use.

Question 3

What happens at a NA meeting?

Accepted Answer

Most NA meetings open with a reading and a moment of reflection, followed by sharing from members. At open meetings, you can simply listen — you do not have to share. Closed meetings are for people who identify as addicts. Most meetings last 60–90 minutes and are followed by an informal opportunity to chat.

Question 4

Is NA free to attend?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NA meetings are always free to attend. There is usually an optional voluntary collection — typically around £1 — but this is never compulsory. NA accepts no outside funding and is fully self-supporting through member contributions.

Question 5

How often should I go to NA meetings?

Accepted Answer

Many people in early recovery aim for 90 meetings in 90 days — one per day for the first three months. Once stable, 1–3 meetings per week is typical. During difficult periods, more frequent attendance can help prevent relapse. There are no rules — attend as often as is helpful.

Question 6

What is the difference between NA and AA?

Accepted Answer

AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) specifically addresses alcohol addiction. NA (Narcotics Anonymous) covers all drugs, including alcohol. Both use the 12-step programme. People with combined alcohol and drug issues often attend both. NA tends to have a broader scope and welcomes anyone struggling with any substance.

Question 7

Do I need to admit I am an addict to attend NA?

Accepted Answer

At open meetings, no — you can attend without identifying yourself as an addict. At closed meetings, it helps to acknowledge a problem with drugs. The only requirement for NA membership is a desire to stop using drugs. No labels or declarations are required at your first meeting.

Question 8
