Will my anonymity be protected?
Yes. Anonymity is a fundamental principle of NA. Members use first names only, and everything said in meetings is confidential. NA has a strong tradition of protecting the privacy of its members.
Is NA the same as AA?
NA and AA are separate fellowships. While both use a Twelve Step approach, NA focuses specifically on addiction to any and all drugs, while AA focuses on alcohol. NA uses the term "clean" to describe recovery from addiction. Both programs are effective and some people attend both.
Can I attend NA if I am on medication-assisted treatment?
NA does not have an opinion on outside issues, including medication. Members who take medication prescribed by a doctor are welcome. However, NA defines "clean" as complete abstinence from all drugs, which individual members may interpret differently.
What is "Just for Today" in NA?
"Just for Today" is both a daily meditation book used by NA members and a core philosophy of the program. The concept encourages focusing on staying clean just for today, rather than being overwhelmed by the thought of never using again.
