What Happens at a Narcotics Anonymous Meeting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

“If you\u2019re new to NA or planning to go to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting for the first time, it might be nice to know a little bit about what happens in our meetings. The information here is meant to give you an understanding of what we do when we come together to share recovery. The words we use and the way we act might be unfamiliar to you at first, but hopefully this information can help you get the most out of your first NA meeting or help you feel more comfortable as you keep coming back. Showing up early, staying late, and asking lots of questions before and after meetings will help you get the most out of every meeting you attend….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…People have all sorts of reasons for attending NA meetings, but the purpose of each meeting is to give NA members a place to share recovery with other addicts. If you are not an addict, look for an open meeting, which welcomes non-addicts. If you\u2019re an addict or think you might have a drug problem, we suggest a meeting every day for at least 90 days to get to know NA members and our program….”<\/p>\n(excerpts from IP #29<\/em>, “An Introduction to NA Meetings”<\/a>)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
