NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS
Narcotics Anonymous is an international, community-based
association of recovering drug addicts. Started in 1947,
the NA movement is one of the world's oldest and
largest of its type, with nearly twenty thousand weekly
meetings in seventy countries.
Narcotics Anonymous is "a nonprofit fellowship or society of
men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem
. . . recovering addicts who meet regularly to help each other stay clean."
Membership is open to any drug addict, regardless of the
particular drug or combination of drugs used.
There are no social, religious, economic, racial, ethnic, national,
gender, or class-status membership restrictions.
Narcotics Anonymous membership is completely voluntary;
no membership rolls or attendance records are kept,
either for NA or anyone else. Members live in the community
and attend meetings on their own time. There are no dues or fees
for membership; most members regularly contribute small sums to
help cover expenses at group meetings, but contributions
are not mandatory.
