What Happens at an NA Meeting in Tetherow?
NA meetings in Tetherow, 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.
