Narcotics Anonymous Literature
Narcotics Anonymous Literature
Written by members, NA literature offers the collective experience of members and a message of hope to the addict.
The NA program is a way of life based in the Twelve Steps. The steps offer members an avenue for growth and change to maintain their recovery. We learn how to apply these steps to our lives by reading NA literature and going to meetings.
Our literature has been expanded and revised over the years, but the message remains the same: An addict, any addict, can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live.
