The NA Message

"An addict, any addict can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live."

Basic Text, p. 68

Who we are

"NA is a nonprofit Fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. We are recovering addicts who meet regularly to help each other stay clean. This is a program of complete abstinence from all drugs. There is only one requirement for membership, the desire to stop using. We suggest that you keep an open mind and give yourself a break. Our program is a set of principles written so simply that we can follow them in our daily lives. The most important thing about them is that they work.

There are no strings attached to NA. We are not affiliated with any other organizations, we have no initiation fees or dues, no pledges to sign, no promises to make to anyone. Anyone may join us, regardless of age, race, sexual identity, creed, religion or lack of religion."

Basic Text, p. 9

Three Indispensable Principles

Honesty

"Rigorous honesty is the most important tool we have in learning to live for today. Although honesty is difficult to practice, it is most rewarding. Honesty is the antidote to our diseased thinking."

Basic Text, p.96

Open-Mindedness

"Being open-minded allows us to hear something that may save our lives. It allows us to listen to opposing points of view, and come to conclustions of our own. Open-mindedness leads us to the very insights that have eluded us during our lives."

Basic Text, p. 96

Willingness

"Willingness to try is the beginning of doing our part. Open-mindedness without willingness will get us nowhere. We must be willing to do whatever is necessary to recover."


Basic Text, p. 96

Keys to Freedom

"As we practice these principles in all our affairs, they gain traction in our lives, and they start feeling more natural. For example, in the beginning we may have to consciously practice being honest. As we continue this practice, we find dishonesty progressively more uncomfortable, perhaps even agonizing; and gradually we notice that honesty has become more normal for us. We are basically honest people, and we even like it."

Living Clean: The Journey Continues, p. 4

There Is Hope

"Narcotics Anonymous offers addicts a program of recovery that is more than just a life without drugs. Not only is this way of life better than the hell we lived, it is better than any life that we have ever known.

We have found a way out, and we see it work for others. Each day more will be revealed."

Basic Text, p. 107

Wellness and Health

"Life is an adventure, and we are able to go futher and experience more than we had ever dreamed. We are able to live beyond the barriers we set for ourselves when we surrender to the real limits before us. Another door opens every time one closes: With self-acceptance comes a willingness to creatively explore new directions. Many of us have regrets about time or abilities lost, but when we really start to explore with an open mind, we find that we have options we may never have considered."
