O<\/em>nly you can answer this question.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This may not be an easy thing to do. All through our usage, we told ourselves, \u201cI can handle it.\u201d Even if this was true in the beginning, it is not so now. The drugs handled us. We lived to use and used to live. Very simply, an addict is a person whose life is controlled by drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a question every potential member must answer for themselves. It may help to read some of our informational pamphlets, starting with “Am I an addict?”<\/a> and “Welcome to NA”<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re an addict, NA can help. We focus on the disease of addiction rather than any particular drug. Our message is broad enough to attract addicts from any social class or nationality. When new members come to meetings, our sole interest is in their desire for freedom from active addiction and how we can be of help.” (It Works: How and Why<\/em>, \u201cThird Tradition\u201d)<\/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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here is some information to further assist you in any questions you may have about this program.
