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”)

Freedom from active addiction
"Narcotics Anonymous offers only one promise and that is freedom from active
addiction, the solution that eluded us for so long."
Basic Text, p.102
NA offers no promises other than freedom from active addiction. It is true that some
of our members meet with financial success in recovery. They buy nice houses, drive
new cars, wear fine clothes, and form beautiful families. These outward signs of
prosperity are not the lot of all of our members, however. A great many of us never
achieve financial success. This does not necessarily reflect on the quality of our
recovery.
When we are tempted to compare ourselves to these other, seemingly more affluent
members, it is good to remember why we came to the rooms of Narcotics
Anonymous. We came because our lives had fallen down around us. We were
emotionally, physically, and spiritually defeated. Our Basic Text reminds us that "in
desperation we sought help from each other in Narcotics Anonymous". We came
because we were beaten.
For addicts, even one day clean is a miracle. When we remember why we came to
Narcotics Anonymous and in what condition we arrived, we realize that material
wealth pales in comparison to the spiritual riches we have gained in recovery.

Just for today: I have been given a spiritual gift greater than material wealth: my
recovery. I will thank the God of my understanding for my freedom from active
addiction.
