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

Just For Today
Daily Meditations for Recovering Addicts
June 14
Maintaining our faith
"If we maintain our spiritual condition daily, we find it easier to deal with the pain
and confusion."
Basic Text, p.92
When we first began searching for a Power greater than ourselves, many of us got
stuck in old beliefs or ideas. These ranged from the fear of a punishing or vengeful
God to no belief at all. Some of us felt we had done such terrible things that a loving
Power would never have anything to do with us. Others were convinced that the
"bad" things that happened to us would not have occurred if a loving Power had
actually existed. It took time, effort, open-mindedness, and faith to acquire a
working belief in a loving Higher Power that would guide us through life's challenges.
Even after we come to believe in a Power greater than ourselves, our old ideas can
come back to haunt us. Major setbacks in our lives and the insecurity such events
can trigger may give rise to the return of our old, inadequate ideas about God. When
this happens, we need to assure ourselves that our Higher Power has not abandoned
us but is waiting to help us make it through the hard times in our recovery. No
matter how painful our loss may be, we will survive our setback and continue to
grow if we maintain the faith our program has given us.
Just for today: I have worked hard to build my faith in a loving, caring Higher Power
that will guide me through life's challenges. Today, I will trust that Power.
