The 12 Steps of NA

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a nonprofit fellowship for recovering drug addicts. NA outlines a 12-step program to help addicts achieve and maintain abstinence from mind- and mood-altering substances. The 12 steps 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, ourselves and other human being the exact nature of wrongs.
  6. Be entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
  7. Humbly ask Him 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 personal inventory and promptly 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.

NA Lubbock holds over 80 meetings a week across Lubbock to provide a supportive environment for members to share experiences and motivate one another toward positive change. The fellowship welcomes anyone seeking recovery from drug addiction.
