About the Program

What is Narcotics Anonymous?

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a global, community-based organization with a multilingual and multicultural membership. We were founded in 1953, and our membership grows daily.

NA is a nonprofit fellowship 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.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using. There are no dues or fees for membership. NA is not affiliated with any other organizations, including political, religious, or law enforcement groups.

"We keep what we have by giving it away."

The Foundation

The 12 Steps of NA

The Twelve Steps are the heart of the NA program. They provide a framework for personal change and recovery from addiction.

1

"We admitted we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable."

2

"We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity."

3

"We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him."

4

"We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves."

5

"We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs."

6

"We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character."

7

"We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings."

8

"We made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all."

9

"We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others."

10

"We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it."

11

"We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out."

12

"Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs."
