Who is an addict?
Most of us do not have to think twice about this question. We know! Our
whole life and thinking was centered in drugs in one form or
another—the getting and using and finding ways and means to get more.
We lived to use and used to live. Very simply, an addict is a man or
woman whose life is controlled by drugs. We are people in the grip of a
continuing and progressive illness whose ends are always the same:
jails, institutions, and death.
What is the Narcotics Anonymous program?
NA is a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs
had become a major problem. We are recovering addicts who meet
regularly to help each other stay clean. This is a program of complete
abstinence from all drugs. There is only one requirement for
membership, the desire to stop using. We suggest that you keep an open
mind and give yourself a break. Our program is a set of principles
written so simply that we can follow them in our daily lives. The most
important thing about them is that they work.
The Southern Foothills Area
formed
in the early 1980's with 4 homegroups having 6 meetings per week. Thru
the process of more addicts reaching out for help, the fight against
the disease of addiction and the overall growth of NA, our area now has
18 homegroups and 30 meetings per week.
