What is Narcotics Anonymous?
Narcotics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women for whom drugs have 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 principals written so simply that we can follow them in our daily lives. The most important thing about them is that they work.
