NA

How can I search for NA meetings and events within my locality?

Joining local Narcotics Anonymous events is an excellent way to lay a solid groundwork for your recovery. For those new to sobriety, these meetings are vital for connecting with others who are committed to staying clean. Without a supportive network, you risk becoming isolated and disheartened, which can obscure your goals and increase the likelihood of a painful or fatal relapse.

Much like other 12-step programs, there’s no magic solution for networking and enjoying recovery. The best way to discover fun activities while leading a clean lifestyle is to join NA and put yourself out there. Connect with others, embrace the experience, and try not to let social anxiety get in your way. Growth in recovery often requires us to step outside our comfort zones. When attending a meeting, be attentive for any announcements related to NA. You might hear about exciting group camping trips, sober gatherings, movie nights, or concerts.

We strongly encourage you to participate in as many “newcomers,” “beginners,” and “Young People Groups” (YPG) meetings as you can. As you connect with various groups of sober individuals, you can expect to receive invitations for meals or fun activities following the meetings. Don’t hesitate to introduce yourself and find out if anyone is interested in hanging out afterward.
