Start with a Meeting

If you want to learn more about NA, the best place to start is by going to a meeting, whether you're an addict or not. All we ask is that if you aren't an addict, please do not share. Stay after the meeting, and ask all the questions you need to. This works for both in-person meetings, as well as online.

The NA Symbol

As stated in the Basic Text, "Simplicity is the key to our symbol; it imitates the simplicity of our Fellowship. All sorts of occult and esoteric connotations can be found in its simple outlines, but foremost in the minds of the Fellowship are easily understood meanings and relationships.

The outer circle denotes a universal and total program that has room within it for all manifestations of the recovering person.

The square, whose lines are defined, is easily seen and understood, but there are other unseen parts of the symbol. The square base denotes Good will, the ground of both the Fellowship and the members of our society. Good will is best exemplified in service; proper service is “Doing the right thing for the right reason.” When Good will supports and motivates both the individual and the Fellowship, we are fully whole and wholly free. Probably the last to be lost to freedom will be the stigma of being an addict.

It is the four pyramid sides that rise from the base in a threedimensional figure that represent Self, Society, Service, and God. All rise to the point of Freedom. All parts are closely related to the needs and aims of the addict who is seeking recovery, and to the purpose of the Fellowship which is to make recovery available to all. The greater the base, (as we grow in unity in numbers and in fellowship) the broader the sides of the pyramid, and the higher the point of freedom."

It is crucial to note that "God" in NA just means a power greater than yourself that is loving and compassionate. Recovery in NA is simple and spiritual, but it does not endorse any particular religion at all.
