A quiet check
Search AA, NA and other UK recovery meetings by postcode, town, or fellowship, in person or online. No sign-up. No tracking of who you are. Just the door, the time, and how to get there.
There is a version of a drug problem that never makes it into films: the one where you are at your desk on Monday, present for the school run, reliable at work, and still using in a way that has quietly stopped feeling like a choice.
This page will not tell you what you are; that is not something a website can know, and this one does not diagnose anyone. It can tell you what the “functioning” label hides, give you a private way to look at where you stand, and show you the rooms where people with jobs, families and mortgages talk about exactly this.

Coke that started as weekends. Ketamine that stopped being just for nights out. Weed that is now every evening rather than some. Pills that were prescribed once and are not really about the prescription any more. The pattern that worries people is rarely the substance itself; it is the drift from choosing to needing, while everything visible stays in place.
“Functioning” measures your output, and output is usually the last thing to go. The earlier signs live where nobody can see them: the promises to cut down, the arithmetic before a night out, the low hum of managing supply, secrecy and recovery time around everything else you do.
If you want more than a gut feeling, our private drug check uses DAST-10, the same short screen health professionals use. Ten questions, about two minutes, nothing stored, nobody follows up. If your thing is specifically cannabis, there is a dedicated cannabis check too. The result is information for you, not a verdict about you.
The rooms of NA, CA and the other fellowships are not what television suggests. They are full of people who never missed a deadline, whose colleagues had no idea, and who walked in the door while their lives still looked enviable from the outside. Meetings for cocaine, ketamine, cannabis, crystal meth and drugs generally run across the UK every day, in person and online, free, with first names only.
You do not have to accept any label to go, and closed meetings simply mean they are for people who think they might have the problem themselves, which includes people who are only wondering. Sit at the back, keep the camera off if it is online, and just listen. That counts.
Yes. Work performance and outward stability are usually the last things affected, which is why they are a poor test. The earlier signs are internal: using more than intended, failed attempts to cut down, and time and energy spent organising life around using.
Use our private drug check, which asks the ten DAST-10 questions health professionals use. It takes about two minutes, stores nothing, and nobody contacts you. There is a separate check for cannabis if that is your question.
NA welcomes anyone with any drug problem, and there are dedicated fellowships for cocaine (CA), cannabis (MA), crystal meth (CMA) and ketamine (KA). You are welcome to try any of them and see what fits; many people visit more than one before settling.
Meetings are anonymous by principle: first names only, no registers, and what is said in the room stays there. Online meetings can be joined with the camera off and a changed display name.
Most people arrive ambivalent; wanting to stop and not wanting to stop usually share the same chair for a while. You can listen at a meeting without committing to anything, and honesty about the ambivalence is more common in those rooms than certainty.
