The 12 Steps of NA

NA (Narcotics Anonymous) is a 12-step program that provides support for people recovering from drug addiction. The 12 steps aim to help members achieve and maintain sobriety through spiritual means.

1. We admitted we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. We made a list of all the people we had harmed and became willing to make amends with them all.
9. We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when doing so would injure them or others.
10. We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to addicts and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

NA meetings across Montana allow members suffering from addiction to share their experiences and offer support to one another. The 12 steps outline a journey toward sobriety, self-improvement, and service to others dealing with addiction. By working through the steps, members free themselves from active addiction and help others achieve freedom.
