Narcotics Anonymous


Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a nonprofit, international organization founded in 1947; it was created to help people of all ages, races, religious perspectives, occupations, and lifestyles stop using drugs.

There are 22,000 NA groups in over 50 countries, including the U.S. and Canada, and more than 2,000 meetings are held in correctional and treatment facilities.

From the NA information pamphlet # 16 titled "For The Newcomer":


This programme offers hope. All you have to bring with you is the desire to stop using and the willingness to try this new way of life.

Come to meetings, listen with an open mind, ask questions, get phone numbers and use them. Stay clean just for today.
