Welcome to South Dade’s official NA site in sunny, Miami Florida! Our Website is designed to provide information about Narcotics Anonymous in this area, and to provide assistance to anyone seeking recovery, or information about recovery. Please take time to look at the different links we have included here.

There are many NA meetings in the Miami-Dade area so the message of recovery, hope and strength is out there. Meetings are scheduled at various times throughout the day, making them convenient for you. All of our meetings are listed in our Meeting section.

We also have listed many of the different activities that go on throughout Miami-Dade so you know you never have to be alone. Our fellowship’s message is, that there IS a better way of life.

If you have a drug problem or think you might, please, give yourself a break and come to a meeting to learn about life in recovery.

Who is an Addict?

Most of us do not have to think twice about this question. We know! Our whole life and thinking was centered in drugs
in one form or another—the getting and using and finding ways and means to get more. We lived to use and used
to live. Very simply, an addict is a man or woman whose life is controlled by drugs. We are people in the grip of a
continuing and progressive illness whose ends are always the same: jails, institutions, and death.

What is the Narcotics Anonymous Program?

NA is a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. We are recovering
addicts who meet regularly to help each other stay clean. This is a program of complete abstinence from all drugs. There is
only one requirement for membership, the desire to stop using.

We suggest that you keep an open mind and give yourself a break. Our program is a set of principles written so simply that
we can follow them in our daily lives. The most important thing about them is that they work.

There are no strings attached to NA. We are not affiliated with any other organizations. We have no initiation fees or
dues, no pledges to sign, no promises to make to anyone. We are not connected with any political, religious, or law
enforcement groups, and are under no surveillance at any time. Anyone may join us regardless of age, race, sexual
identity, creed, religion, or lack of religion.

We are not interested in what or how much you used or who your connections were, what you have done in the past, how
uch or how little you have, but only in what you want to do about your problem and how we can help. The newcomer is
the most important person at any meeting, because we can only keep what we have by giving it away. We have learned
from our group experience that those who keep coming to our meetings regularly stay clean.

Why Are We Here?

Before coming to the Fellowship of NA, we could not manage our own lives. We could not live and enjoy life as other
people do. We had to have something different and we thought we had found it in drugs. We placed their use ahead of the
welfare of our families, our wives, husbands, and our children. We had to have drugs at all costs. We did many people great
harm but most of all we harmed ourselves. Through our inability to accept personal responsibilities we were actually
creating our own problems. We seemed to be incapable of facing life on its own terms.

Most of us realized that in our addiction we were slowly committing suicide, but addiction is such a cunning enemy of
life that we had lost the power to do anything about it. Many of us ended up in jail or sought help through medicine, religion,
and psychiatry. None of these methods was sufficient for us. Our disease always resurfaced or continued to progress until
in desperation we sought help from each other in Narcotics Anonymous.

After coming to NA, we realized we were sick people. We suffered from a disease from which there is no known cure. It
can, however, be arrested at some point and recovery is then possible.
