What an NA Meeting Is Like

Your first NA meeting is an important step and likely making you feel a bit nervous. This nervousness may come from not knowing what to expect, so here are a few things to know before you go.

An open meeting welcomes anyone curious about NA, including family members. On the other hand, a closed meeting is for people who want to stop using. Meetings also come in different formats, including speaker meetings, discussion meetings and step study groups.

A speaker meeting is where someone shares their story; a discussion meeting is where a group talks about a topic and step study groups work through the 12 steps together. There is no requirement to have any clean time before walking in and meetings are free. You don’t have to sign in or register. Newcomers are usually asked only to keep an open mind and come back.
