Are you struggling with addiction?
You’re not alone. Narcotics Anonymous is a 12-step fellowship that can help you recover from addiction. We offer a safe and supportive space where you can find help and healing.
Attending your first NA meeting can be a little daunting, but it’s nothing to be afraid of. We’re a welcoming and inclusive space, and everyone is here to help each other.
Here are some things to keep in mind when you attend your first meeting:
- You don’t have to say anything if you don’t want to. You can just listen and observe.
- Everyone is here for the same reason: to get help and to help others.
- We are all in this together.
If you are struggling with addiction, please don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Narcotics Anonymous can help you get on the road to recovery.
We encourage you to attend your first Narcotics Anonymous meeting. We know it can be hard, especially when everything feels downright impossible right now. But we also know that you may find that you have the overwhelming urge to keep coming back afterward, growing on a new path in recovery, and accepting a new way of life.
Remember, we are all in this together. Addiction is a powerful disease, but we also know that recovery is possible.
