Why The Narcotics Anonymous Program Works

THE TWELVE TRADITIONS OF N.A.

In recovery we keep what we have only with vigilance, and just as freedom for the individual comes from working and living the Twelve Steps, so freedom for the group springs from application of our Traditions.

These are the ties that bind us together. Thay are stronger than those that would tear us apart, so if we follow them all will be well.

Tradition one

In NA our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends on N.A. unity.

Tradition two

In NA for our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority-a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.

Read more...

Tradition three

In NA the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using.

Read more...

Tradition four

In NA each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or N.A. as a whole.

Read more...

Tradition five

In NA each group has but one primary purpose-to carry the message to the addict who still suffers.

Read more...

Tradition six

In NA an N.A. group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the N.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property or prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

Read more...

Tradition seven

In NA every N.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.

Read more...

Tradition eight

Narcotics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers.

Read more...

Tradition nine

N.A., as such, ought never be organized, but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.

Read more...

Tradition ten

Narcotics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the N.A. name ought never be drawn into public controversy.

Read more...

Tradition eleven

In NA our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.

Read more...

Tradition twelve

In NA anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
