Many of found that attending an NA meeting for the first time took some courage as we didn't know what to expect. To find out about what happens at NA meetings please have a look at the 'Meetings - what to expect' section. Remember, everyone at the meeting attended their first meeting once and will remember how that felt.
There are no 'musts' in NA, you don't have to say anything at any NA meeting nor do you have to be clean to attend.
There are over 1000 NA meetings a week in the UK, that represents a lot of addicts getting and staying clean and a huge resource of experience to draw on.
