How to Start an NA Meeting

“The group is the primary vehicle by which our message is carried. It provides a setting in which a newcomer can identify with recovering addicts and find an atmosphere of recovery.”
- The Group Booklet

Starting an NA Meeting

This can be relatively easy. Although NA meetings may vary greatly in structure and in format, they share a common goal: to carry the message of recovery from one addict to another.
