What is the difference between open and closed NA meetings?

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.
