The 12 Steps of NA

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a nonprofit fellowship for recovering drug addicts. Its approach involves working through 12 steps to achieve and maintain sobriety. The 12 steps are:

1. Admit powerlessness over addiction—realize addiction has made life unmanageable.
2. Believe a Power greater than oneself can restore sanity.
3. Make the decision to turn will and life over to the care of God as understood.
4. Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourself.
5. Admit to God, yourself, and another human the exact nature of wrongs.
6. Become entirely ready to have God remove all defects of character.
7. Humbly ask God to remove shortcomings.
8. Make a list of all persons harmed and become willing to make amends.
9. Make direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when doing so would injure them or others.
10. Continue personal inventory and promptly admit when wrong.
11. Seek through prayer and meditation to improve conscious contact with God as understood, praying only for knowledge of God’s will and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, try to carry this message to other addicts and practice these principles in all affairs.

NA aims to help members across Nevada positively change their lives by providing a plan of action for achieving and maintaining sobriety. The 12 steps motivate members to take personal responsibility, make amends, and help others in order to overcome their addictions.
