How to Locate NA Meetings

Narcotics Anonymous is, "a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem," according to NA.org. Meetings are either discussion meetings, in which those attending share for a minimal amount of time, or speaker meetings where one person shares for an extended amount of time. Open NA meetings are open to anybody interested, even people who do not personally have an addiction.
