N.A. is a non-profit 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.

We are not interested in what or how much you used or who your connections were, what you have done in the past, how much or how little you have, but only in what you want to do about your problem and how we can help.

Values anonymity
The basic premise of anonymity allows addicts to attend meetings without fear of legal or social repercussions.  This is an important consideration for an addict thinking about going to his first meeting.  Anonymity also supports an atmosphere of equality in meetings.  It helps insure that no individual's personality or circumstance will be considered more important than the message of recovery shared in NA.
