How do I find a sponsor?
Most people find a sponsor by attending meetings regularly and identifying someone whose recovery they admire. You can simply ask someone if they would be willing to sponsor you. Many meetings also ask sponsors to identify themselves.
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.
