The 12 Steps of NA
Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a nonprofit fellowship or society of recovering addicts whose primary purpose is to help addicts stop using drugs. NA outlines a 12-step plan to help members achieve and maintain abstinence from drug addiction. The 12 steps are:
- Admit powerlessness over addiction and inability to manage one’s own life.
- Believe in a Power greater than oneself that can restore sanity.
- Make decision to turn will and life over to care of higher Power.
- Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of self.
- Admit to higher Power, self and another human being the exact nature of wrongs.
- Become entirely ready to have higher Power remove all character defects.
- Humbly ask higher Power to remove shortcomings.
- Make list of all persons harmed and become willing to make amends.
- Make direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
- Continue to take personal inventory and promptly admit when wrong.
- Seek through prayer and meditation to improve conscious contact with higher Power.
- Carry message to other addicts and practice these principles in all affairs.
NA meetings held in Naples and across Collier County give members an open, nonjudgemental format to work through the 12 steps. The program aims to motivate members toward positive change in their lives and communities.
