The 12 Steps of NA

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a nonprofit fellowship or society that offers recovery support for people struggling with drug addiction. NA outlines a 12-step program to help members achieve and maintain abstinence from mind- and mood-altering substances. The 12 steps are:

1. Admit powerlessness over addiction and that lives have become unmanageable.
2. Come to believe that a Power greater than oneself can restore sanity.
3. Make decision to turn will and lives over to taking care of God as understood.
4. Make searching and fearless moral inventory of selves.
5. Admit to God, selves, and another human being the exact nature of wrongs.
6. Become entirely ready to have God remove all defects of character.
7. Humbly ask God to remove shortcomings.
8. Make list of all those harmed and become willing to make amends.
9. Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when doing so would injure them or others.
10. Continue to take personal inventory and promptly admit when mistakes.
11. Seek through prayer and meditation to improve conscious contact with God as understood, praying only for knowledge of God’s will and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, try to carry this message to other addicts and practice these principles in all affairs.
