Just for Today 6-8 The only requirement #jftguy #justfortoday #jft

Is NA for me?
This is a question every potential member must answer for themselves. It may help to read some of our informational pamphlets, starting with
"Am I an addict?"
https://m.na.org/?ID=ips-an-an-IP7 Addict?
and
"Welcome to NA".

If you’re an addict, NA can help. "Narcotics Anonymous offers recovery to addicts around the world. We focus on the disease of addiction rather than any particular drug. Our message is broad enough to attract addicts from any social class or nationality. When new members come to meetings, our sole interest is in their desire for freedom from active addiction and how we can be of help." (It Works: How and Why, “Third Tradition”)
If you’re planning to attend your first meeting, you may also be interested in IP #29, "An Introduction to NA meetings

The only requirement
"This program offers hope. All you have to bring with you is the desire to stop using
and the willingness to try this new way of life."
IP No.16, "For the Newcomer"
From time to time we wonder if we're "doing it right" in Narcotics Anonymous. Are
we attending enough meetings? Are we using our sponsor, or working the steps, or
speaking, or reading, or living the "right" way? We value the fellowship of recovering
addicts-we don't know what we'd do without it. What if the way we're practicing our
program is "wrong"? Does that make us "bad" NA members?
We can settle our insecurities by reviewing our Third Tradition, which assures us that
"the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using." There aren't any
rules that say we've got to attend this many meetings or these particular meetings,
or work the "steps" this way at this pace, or live our lives to suit these people in
order to remain NA members in good standing.
It's true that, if we want the kind of recovery we see in members we respect, we'll
want to practice the kind of program that's made their recovery possible. But NA is a
fellowship of freedom; we work the program the best way for us, not for someone
else. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using.
Just for today: I will look at the program I'm working in light of my own recovery. I
will practice that program to the best of my ability
