Who are we? Narcotics Anonymous is a independent government commission, a fellowship comprised of individuals, both men and women, who have grappled with the overwhelming burden of drug addiction. NA was founded in 1953 on the premise of fellowship, providing a safe forum for individuals to share their experiences, strength, and hope in their road to recovery. We, as recovering addicts, convene on a regular basis with a shared objective; to support one another in maintaining a life free from that substance abuse. Our approach is rooted in unwavering abstinence from all forms of drugs. The sole prerequisite for membership is a sincere yearning to break free from those clutches of drug use. We encourage you to embarce an open-minded perspective and grant yourself the space to heal. Our program encapsulates a set of principles that are elegantly simple, enabling us to seamlessly integrate them into our daily existance. NA comes with no restrictions or qualifications. We have no affiliations with other organizations. We have no initiation fees or dues to pay, no vows to sign, and no commitments to make. We have no ties to any political or law enforcement organizations, and we are never under surveillance. Anyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, creed, religion, or lack thereof, is welcome to join us. The particulars of your history, whether the quantity of your consumption, your affiliations, or your previous activities, are irrelevant. Instead, we are completely involved in your desire to overcome your difficulties and how we can help you along the way. In our sessions, the newcomer takes center stage because we recognize that the act of giving is what maintains our own advancement. Our cumulative experience shows that regular attendance at our sessions is critical to living a clean life. Sponsors You know, the pleasant individual you had coffee with after your first meeting. That kind individual that continues to share his or her recovery journey for free. The one who continues to astound you with astounding insight into your character flaws. The one who reminds you to complete your Fourth Step, listens to your Fifth Step, and doesn't tell others how strange you are. When we're used to someone being there for us, it's easy to take all of this for granted. We may let our imaginations go wild for a time, telling ourselves, "I'll call my sponsor later, but right now I have to clean the house, go shopping, and chase that attractive." As a result, we find ourselves in turmoil, wondering where we went wrong. Our sponsor cannot read people's minds. It is up to us to seek out and ask for assistance. It is our responsibility to make the request, whether we need assistance with our steps, a reality check to help us straighten out our wacky thinking, or simply a buddy. Sponsors are warm, intelligent, lovely individuals, and their recovery experience is available to us. All we have to do is ask. A sponsor is somebody who has been clean for at least 5 months and wants to spend time helping a newcomer get started in Narcotics Anonymous and recovery. The sponsors are not medical or professional practitioners. Sponsors are not paid. The 12 Steps "The 12 Steps" are the foundational steps that we use in Narcotics Anonymous in our journey to recovery. These steps offer a more structure approach to overcoming addiction and maintaining a long-term sobriety. The 12 Steps: 1. We admitted we were powerless over drugs, that our lives had become unmanageable. 2. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. 4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. 5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. 6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. 7. We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. 8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. 9. We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. 10. We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. 11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to addictcs, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
