The 12 Steps of NA

NA outlines a 12-step program to help members achieve and maintain abstinence from mind- and mood-altering substances. The 12 steps aim to inspire spiritual growth and a commitment to help fellow addicts.

The 12 steps of NA are:

1. Admit powerlessness over addiction and that lives have become unmanageable
2. Come to believe a Power greater than ourselves can restore sanity
3. Make decision to turn will and lives over to care of God as we understand Him
4. Make searching and fearless moral inventory of selves
5. Admit to God, selves, and another human being the exact nature of wrongs
6. Become entirely ready to have God remove all defects of character
7. Humbly ask God to remove shortcomings
8. Make list of all persons harmed and become willing to make amends
9. Make direct amends whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others
10. Continue to take personal inventory and admit when wrong
11. Seek through prayer and meditation to improve conscious contact with God as we understand Him, praying only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry that out
12. Carry message to other addicts and practice these principles in all affairs

This 12-step program aims to motivate members toward positive change across Nevada. The steps promote self-improvement, accountability, making amends, and helping others.
