Welcome to our little corner of online Narcotics Anonymous. While we do not suggest that online NA meetings or fellowship is a replacement for attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings in your home town, we do find it useful in our recovery as a supplemental tool to help us to stay drug free. The concept of "identification" with other addicts is why NA works. We have found that addicts around the world are the same. What particular drug we used does not matter. An addict is an addict. When we focus on any one particular drug, we are ignoring a simple truth; Addiction is not about the drug, it is a matter of how we think... how we feel... our spiritual condition.

NA is a fellowship based on the concept of spirituality - not religion. We believe that addiction is a disease of the spirit. Our Narcotics Anonymous literature speaks of "God as we understand him".. a way of thinking that is not even necessarily limited to "him". Addicts of almost all spiritual belief systems have found a place where they belong, in NA's rooms of recovery. Athiest, agnostic, theist, christian, hindu, muslim, buddhist... it does not matter to us. All of us have found Narcotics Anonymous' spiritual concepts useful to us. These spiritual concepts fit into our lives and enhance our lives. A few years ago NA's primary literature, a book which we call "The Basic Text", made an astounding leap - more "Basic Texts" were printed in Farsi and sold in Iran than were printed and sold in english speaking countries.

The message we as addicts carry to the still suffering addict is simple - "Just for today, WE NEVER HAVE TO USE AGAIN." The twelve steps of Narcotics Anonymous frees us to live in today, instead of being stuck in resentments from our past - or in fears of the future. We are freed from the prison of active addiction by the application of spiritual principles in our lives. Honesty, openmindedness, and willingness are three of these principles, the foundation for the rest of our recovery.

Come on in and visit our NA chatroom. Our moderators can help you to find Narcotics Anonymous meetings in your home town, they can find NA hotline phone numbers in your area, they can direct you to online sources of our literature. NA has no fees or dues to pay. We make no promises to anyone. We swear no oaths. What we do is: we share our experience strength and hope with each other. Narcotics Anonymous means that no addict need ever be stuck in their addiction alone. The old lie that "Once an addict always an addict" is dead. We do remain addicts...but today, in recovery, we have a choice - We never have to use again.. there is a new way of life available to all addicts who seek it out. That way is found with other clean addicts in Narcotics Anonymous.
