Narcotics Anonymous (NA)
Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a 12-step fellowship that offers support and guidance to individuals recovering from drug addiction. It follows the same principles as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in promoting abstinence and providing a supportive community for those in recovery.
NA meetings are open to anyone with a desire to stop using drugs. Members share their experiences, strength, and hope with one another, offering support and camaraderie through the challenges of addiction recovery. The program also encourages members to take responsibility for their actions and make amends for past mistakes.
By following the 12 steps outlined in NA literature, individuals can work towards spiritual growth and maintain sobriety. These steps involve admitting powerlessness over drugs, seeking guidance from a higher power, making amends to those harmed by addiction, and living a more purposeful and honest life.
NA also offers sponsorship programs where members can receive one-on-one support from someone with more experience in the program. This mentorship relationship is crucial for many individuals in maintaining their recovery and preventing relapse.
