Starting A Meeting
Starting an NA meeting can be relatively easy. NA meetings may vary greatly in structure and format, however, there is always one constant. They are started so that the NA message of recovery can be carried to the still-suffering addict in the most effective way – addict. If you are an addict, thinking about or planning to start a meeting, please review the Group QuickStart Guide:
Please note: NA groups are formed and facilitated by NA members. If you are not a member but are interested in supporting the start of a new NA group, please contact us at fsmail@na.org or call +1-818-773-9999.
Home Groups
A HOMEGROUP is where two or more addicts come together to share their recovery. Its primary purpose is to carry the message of recovery to the addict who still suffers. Each meeting gives members the chance to share their experience and learn to live clean. The group is the main way our message is carried, offering members a place to connect with recovering addicts and share in an atmosphere of recovery. Here are helpful resource for homegroups:
