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".

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

Just For Today
Daily Meditations for Recovering Addicts
June 7
Someone who believes in me
"Just for today I will have faith in someone in NA who believes in me and wants to
help me in my recovery"
Basic Text, p.96
Not all of us arrive in NA and automatically stay clean. But if we keep coming back,
we find in Narcotics Anonymous the support we need for our recovery. Staying clean
is easier when we have someone who believes in us even when we don't believe in
ourselves.
Even the most frequent relapser in NA usually has one staunch supporter who is
always there, no matter what. It is imperative that we find that one person or group
of people who believes in us. When we ask them if we will ever get clean, they will
always reply, "Yes, you can and you will. Just keep coming back!"
We all need someone who believes in us, especially when we can't believe in
ourselves. When we relapse, we undermine our already shattered self-confidence,
sometimes so badly that we begin to feel utterly hopeless. At such times, we need
the support of our loyal NA friends. They tell us that this can be our last relapse.
They know from experience that if we keep coming to meetings, we will eventually
get clean and stay clean.
It's hard for many of us to believe in ourselves. But when someone loves us
unconditionally, offering support no matter how many times we've relapsed,
recovery in NA becomes a little more real for us.
Just for today: I will find someone who believes in me. I will believe in them
