What about the newcomer - 05-04 - Just for Today Narcotics Anonymous Daily Meditation - #jftguy5-4
Is NA for me? This is a question every potential member must answer for themselves. It may help to read some of our informational pamphlets, starting with "Am I an addict?"
https://m.na.org/?ID=ips-an-an-IP7 Addict?
and "Welcome to NA". https://www.na.org/admin/include/spaw2/uploads/pdf/litfiles/us_english/IP/EN3122.pdfA.doc
If you’re an addict, NA can help. "Narcotics Anonymous offers recovery to addicts around the world. We focus on the disease of addiction rather than any particular drug. Our message is broad enough to attract addicts from any social class or nationality. When new members come to meetings, our sole interest is in their desire for freedom from active addiction and how we can be of help." (It Works: How and Why, “Third Tradition”) If you’re planning to attend your first meeting, you may also be interested in IP #29, "An Introduction to NA meetings "https://www.na.org/admin/include/spaw2/uploads/pdf/litfiles/us_english/IP/EN3122.pdfetings."

"What about the newcomer?"
Page 130
"Each group has but one primary purpose - to carry the message to the addict who still suffers."
Tradition Five
Our home group means a lot to us. After all, where would we be without our favorite NA meeting? Our group
sometimes sponsors picnics or other activities. Often, home group members get together to see a movie or go bowling.
We have all made good friendships through our home group, and we wouldn't trade that warmth for the world.
But sometimes we must take inventory of what our group is doing to fulfill its primary purpose-to carry the message to
the still-suffering addict. Sometimes when we go to our meetings, we know almost everyone and get caught up in the
laughter and fun. But what about the newcomer? Have we remembered to reach out to the new people who may be
sitting by themselves, lonely and frightened? Do we remember to welcome those visiting our group?
The love found in the rooms of Narcotics Anonymous helps us recover from addiction. But once we have gotten clean,
we must remember to give to others what was so freely given to us. We need to reach out to the addict who still
suffers. After all, "the newcomer is the most important person at any meeting."
Just for Today: I'm grateful for the warm fellowship I've found in my home group. I will reach out my hand to the
still-suffering addict, offering that same fellowship to others.
