NA meetings in Latham, Illinois typically last about an hour. Most meetings open with a reading from NA literature, such as "Who Is an Addict?" or "Why Are We Here?" This is followed by sharing from members about their experience with addiction and recovery.
There is no pressure to speak at your first meeting. Many newcomers choose to simply listen and absorb the atmosphere. You'll hear from people who were once in the same situation as you and who found a way out through the NA program.
Meetings in Latham may be "open" (anyone can attend to learn about NA) or "closed" (reserved for those who identify as addicts). Both types are welcoming to newcomers who want to stop using drugs.

Can I attend NA if I am on medication-assisted treatment?

What are keytags in NA?
Keytags are colored tags given to members to mark recovery milestones. A white keytag represents a desire to stay clean (the "newcomer" keytag). Other colors mark 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, six months, nine months, one year, eighteen months, and multiple years clean.
Do I have to speak at a meeting?
Absolutely not. Many people attend their first several meetings without sharing. You can simply listen, learn, and observe. When and if you decide to share, that is entirely your choice.
What should I do if I relapse?
Many recovering addicts experience relapse. The important thing is to come back to meetings. NA members understand that relapse can be part of the process, and the fellowship welcomes anyone who returns with a desire to stay clean.
