What Happens at an NA Meeting in Seaside?
NA meetings in Seaside, Oregon 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.

Meetings in Seaside 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.
