Attending Narcotics Anonymous Meetings, NA 12-Step Program, 12-Step Program At We Level Up New Jersey


All of the efforts of Narcotics Anonymous are inspired by the principal purpose of its groups. Upon this common ground, Narcotics Anonymous stand committed.  N.A.’s vision is “Every addict in the world has the chance to experience our message in his or her own language and culture and find the opportunity for a new way of life.”

Relapse rates for substance use disorders (40 to 60 percent) are comparable to those for chronic diseases, such as diabetes (20 to 50 percent), hypertension (50 to 70 percent), and asthma (50 to 70 percent).  [1]  But recovering addicts who take advantage of aftercare services experience lower relapse rates than people who do not participate in aftercare programs such as Narcotics Anonymous.

Narcotics Anonymous is a global, community-based organization with a multilingual and multicultural membership.  N.A. was established in 1953, and members hold nearly 76,000 meetings weekly in 143 countries today.

12-Step Program

Twelve-step programs have been around for nearly a century and are a well-known topic within recovery communities.  The 12 Steps program for drug abuse is often used alongside formal behavioral therapy and medication-assisted treatment (MAT).

The 12 Steps were devised to help members achieve and sustain sobriety.  Popularized in the early 20th century with the establishment of Alcohol Anonymous, the success of the steps program for alcohol addiction led to creating its virtually identical counterpart, Narcotics Anonymous.

Regardless of the substance at hand:  the purpose of the Twelve Steps is to empower recovering addicts to be contemplative and to take responsibility for their actions.  In doing so, individuals can identify the source of their substance abuse, triggers and sequentially find lasting support in moving past it.

N.A. is a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a significant problem.  Narcotics Anonymous are recovering addicts who meet regularly to help each other stay clean.  This is a program of total abstinence from all drugs.  There is only one requirement for membership, the desire to stop using.  The program recommends that you keep an open mind and give yourself a break.  The N.A. program is a set of principles written so that members can follow them in their daily lives.  The most remarkable thing about them is that they work.

After undergoing the entire treatment program, it is important for our clients to adopt habits that will ensure continuing sobriety. This involves engaging in behaviors such as taking part in 12-step groups like Narcotics Anonymous, having time for prayers and meditation, and being attentive to self-care.

Narcotics Anonymous 12 Steps

There are no strings attached to N.A.  The groups are not affiliated with any other organizations.  They have no initiation fees or dues, no pledges to sign, no promises to make to anyone.  Narcotics Anonymous is not correlated with any political, religious, or law enforcement groups and is under no surveillance at any time.  Anyone may participate regardless of age, race, sexual identity, creed, religion, or lack of religion.

The 12 Steps Are:

  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 decided to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
  4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
  5. We admitted to God, ourselves, and another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
  6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
  7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
  8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
  9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
  10. 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/alcoholics and practice these principles in all our affairs.

Narcotics Anonymous 12 Traditions

Narcotics Anonymous is not intrigued by what or how much you used or who your connections were, what you have done in the past, how much or how little you have, but only in what you want to do about your difficulty and how the program does can help.

The 12 Traditions Are:

  1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon N.A. unity.
  2. There is but one ultimate authority for our group purpose —a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience.  Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.
  3. The only requirement for N.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking/using.
  4. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or N.A. as a whole.
  5. Each group has one primary purpose—to carry its message to the addict/alcoholic who still suffers.
  6. An NA group ought never to endorse, finance, or lend the N.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
  7. Every NA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
  8. N.A. should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers.
  9. N.A. It ought never to be organized, but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
  10. N.A. has no opinion on outside issues; hence the N.A. name ought never to be drawn into public controversy.
  11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion;  we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
  12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
