Narcotics Anonymous is a free, peer-led recovery fellowship for anyone with a problem with drugs of any kind. It runs across the UK, in most towns and cities and on every day of the week. There are no fees, no referrals, and no requirement to be clean before your first meeting. The only thing needed is a desire to stop using.
A meeting usually lasts about an hour. A member chairs it, reads a short opening, and people share from their own experience of using and recovery. You will not be called on, and you are free to sit and listen for as long as you need to. What is said in the room stays in the room.
NA meetings in the UK run in person, online over Zoom, and as hybrids that do both at once. Groups differ in size and character, so if the first one does not feel right, it is worth trying another nearby.

No. You can come and listen without saying anything. Nobody will call on you, and most people find it easier to sit quietly and take things in at first. If you want to say your name you can, but there is no expectation.
No. You do not need to have stopped before your first meeting. Many people attend while still in the middle of the problem. The only requirement is a desire to stop.
The programme references a higher power, which each member defines for themselves. Many members are not religious, and atheists and agnostics are common in the rooms. The spiritual aspect is about seeking help outside of yourself, not about any particular religion.
