Founded in the early 1950s, Narcotics Anonymous has grown to over 70,000 meetings worldwide. NA is a 12-step program based on the model of Alcoholics Anonymous. It offers a community of support for people seeking recovery through complete abstinence from all drugs. NA meetings provide a safe space for members to share their experiences and struggles to remain drug-free.
The 12 Steps of Narcotics Anonymous
Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a nonprofit fellowship for people seeking recovery from drug addiction. NA outlines a 12-step program to guide members on their recovery journey:
- Admit powerlessness over addiction — acknowledging addiction has made one’s life unmanageable.
- Believe in a Power greater than oneself — openness to draw strength from a Higher Power.
- Make a decision to turn will and life over to God/Higher Power’s care — willingness to let go of control and accept guidance.
- Make a searching, fearless moral inventory of self — take an honest look inward at one’s character and behaviors.
- Admit to God/Higher Power and another person the exact nature of wrongs — disclose shortcomings without rationalization or defense.
- Become ready for these defects of character to be removed — prepare for growth by addressing flaws uncovered in Step 5.
- Ask God/Higher Power to remove shortcomings — humility to invite help changing these flaws.
- Make a list of persons harmed and become willing to make amends — identify who deserves redress for one’s mistakes.
- Make direct amends whenever possible except when doing so would injure self or others — repair harm inflicted on others if constructive.
- Continue personal inventory and admit when wrong — maintain constant self-reflection and promptly acknowledge mistakes.
- Seek through prayer and meditation to improve conscious contact with God/Higher Power — deepen spiritual connection as a source of guidance.
- Carry the NA message to other addicts and practice these principles in all affairs — share experiences to help fellow addicts and live ethically.
The 12 steps aim to motivate members toward positive change across Florida, the United States, and globally. NA groups provide support for members to apply these principles in everyday life.
