In the Narcotics Anonymous program, every addict with a desire to stop using can be a member, and no member of NA need ever recover alone. Recovery is our common bond. Even though some of us may feel hopeless because of the wreckage of our active addiction, we are not helpless.

This literature was developed by young members of Narcotics Anonymous who have stayed clean and found a new way of life. Young addicts around the world, speaking many different languages, are getting and staying clean in NA.

If you’re new to NA or planning to go to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting for the first time, it might be nice to know a little bit about what happens in our meetings. The information here is meant to give you an understanding of what we do when we come together to share recovery.
