The 12 Steps of NA
Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a nonprofit fellowship or society of recovering drug addicts whose primary purpose is to help addicts stop using drugs. NA outlines a 12-step plan to guide members on their road to recovery:
- Admit powerlessness over addiction – realize drugs have made life unmanageable
- Believe a Power greater than oneself can restore sanity
- Make decision to turn will and life over to the care of God as understood
- Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of self
- Admit to God, self, and another human the exact nature of wrongs
- Become entirely ready to have God remove all defects of character
- Humbly ask God to remove shortcomings
- Make a list of all persons harmed and become willing to make amends
- Make direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when doing so would injure them or others
- Continue to take personal inventory and admit wrongs when they occur
- Seek through prayer and meditation to improve conscious contact with God as understood
- Carry a message to other addicts and practice these principles in all affairs
