Clarity StatementWe are presented with a dilemma; when NA members identify themselves as addicts and alcoholics, or talk about living clean and sober, the clarity of the NA message is blurred. To speak in this manner suggests that there are two diseases, that one drug is somehow separate from the rest, requiring special recognition. Narcotics Anonymous makes no distinction between drugs. Our identification as addicts is all-inclusive, which allows us to concentrate on our similarities, not our differences.

_____________________________________

Public Relations StatementWhy Public Relations Is Important to the NA Member

The Narcotics Anonymous message is, “that an addict, any addict, can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use and find a new way to live.” Our relations with the public enable us to share this message broadly so that those who might benefit from our program of recovery can find us. We perform public relations service to increase the awareness and credibility of the NA program. We share our message openly with the public at large, with prospective members, and with professionals. Maintaining an open, attractive attitude in these efforts helps us to create and improve relationships with those outside the fellowship. Establishing and maintaining a commitment to these relationships can help us to further our primary purpose. The spiritual principles of our steps, traditions, and concepts guide us in pursuing our public relations aims and our efforts to enhance NA’s public image and reputation. These principles apply to our community and service efforts as well as to the personal behavior and attitude of individual NA members.

The Twelve Traditions of Narcotics Anonymous

 1.  Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends on NA unity .

 2.  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.

 3.  The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using. 4.  Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other

groups or NA as a whole. 5.  Each group has but one primary purpose – to carry the message to the

addict who still suffers. 6.  An NA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the NA name to any

related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property or prestige divert us from our primary purpose.

 7.  Every NA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.

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

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

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

11.  Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and film.

12.  Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.

Twelve Concepts for NA Service 1.  To fulfill our fellowship’s primary purpose, the NA groups have joined

together to create a structure which develops, coordinates, and maintains services on behalf of NA as a whole.

 2.  The final responsibility and authority for NA services rests with the NA groups.

 3.  The NA groups delegate to the service structure the authority necessary to fulfill the responsibilities assigned to it.

 4.  Effective leadership is highly valued in Narcotics Anonymous. Leadership qualities should be carefully considered when selecting trusted servants.

 5.  For each responsibility assigned to the service structure, a single point of decision and accountability should be clearly defined.

 6.  Group conscience is the spiritual means by which we invite a loving God to influence our decisions.

 7.  All members of a service body bear substantial responsibility for that body’s decisions and should be allowed to fully participate in its decision-making processes.

 8.  Our service structure depends on the integrity and effectiveness of our communications.

 9.  All elements of our service structure have the responsibility to carefully consider all viewpoints in their decision-making processes.

10.  Any member of a service body can petition that body for the redress of a personal grievance, without fear of reprisal.

11.  NA funds are to be used to further our primary purpose, and must be managed responsibly.

12.  In keeping with the spiritual nature of Narcotics Anonymous, our structure should always be one of service, never of government.
