Welcome to NA!\r\n\r\nWe don't distinguish between the drugs you have taken, so there are no \"right\", \"wrong\" or \"bad enough\" drugs.

The most important and only requirement for participation in NA is that you have the desire to stop using. Even if it's just the smallest spark.

We have people from all walks of life and social classes here. Not everyone ends up on the street, and not everyone's drug problem is obvious. Some have experienced homelessness, crime and violence. Some of us have dealt, stolen, prostituted themselves. Some have known prison from the inside, received various prison or probationary sentences, or undergone diversion and rehab instead of criminal punishment. Still others have \"just\" popped pills or woken up somewhere strange wondering how the hell they got there.\r\n\r\nNone of this is essential for participation in NA.

Our members come from all walks of life and social situations.\r\n\r\nMaybe it's \"just\" the indispensable after-work beer, partying hard every weekend, the irresistible need for drugs to solve problems, or the feeling that you can no longer function without pills. Often it's simply an inner feeling of hopelessness, despair, resignation, being driven, or meaninglessness.\r\n\r\nIf your feeling tells you that it might have something to do with your drug use, <a href=\"https:\/\/narcotics-anonymous.de\/artikel\/bin-ich-suechtig\/\" rel=\"noopener\">take the test here<\/a>!\r\n[\/av_toggle]\r\n[av_toggle title='I\u2019m too young \/ my parents say I have a problem' tags='' custom_id='' av_uid='av-34i3ox7' sc_version='1.0' title_open='' title_pos='' slide_speed='' aria_collapsed='' aria_expanded='']\r\nAn addict tells us: \"When I was 16, I wrote in my diary that I thought I should drink less. It took another 17 years of doing all the drugs and everything I said I would never do. Yes, everyone around me was on my case saying I had a problem, but I didn't want to hear it. Yet I kind of knew it at the time.\"\r\n\r\nNo matter how old or how young you are, if you feel somewhere inside you that there's something wrong with what you're doing: you have a choice.\r\n\r\nYou can read another personal story <a href=\"https:\/\/narcotics-anonymous.de\/artikel\/eine-junge-suechtige\/\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a>\r\n[\/av_toggle]\r\n[av_toggle title='I\u2018ve been trying for so long, I can\u2019t do it anymore ...' tags='' custom_id='' av_uid='av-1g352x7' sc_version='1.0' title_open='' title_pos='' slide_speed='' aria_collapsed='' aria_expanded='']\r\nNo matter how old or young, many of us have reached the point of total desperation. We tried everything \u2013 therapies, addiction clinics, outpatient measures, sticking it out ourselves, controlling our use, moving to new cities, new jobs and new partnerships ... sooner or later we slipped again. Relapses, detoxes, despair, depression, over and over again ... to the point we ask ourselves the question: is it still worth making such an effort?\r\n\r\nIf you are still asking yourself this ... great! Because we can tell you: it's worth it. You are never too old for a new start. Some members come to NA when they are over 50 or 60, and we have members of all ages.\r\n[\/av_toggle]\r\n[av_toggle title='Is NA only for junkies?' tags='' custom_id='' av_uid='av-2kyuh63' sc_version='1.0' title_open='' title_pos='' slide_speed='' aria_collapsed='' aria_expanded='']\r\nNot at all!

In NA, junkies sit next to stoners, speed freaks next to pill addicts, alcoholics next to substituted addicts. We all share a desire to get clean and stay clean. We don't ask which or how many drugs you have taken, and everyone decides for themselves when enough is enough.\r\n[\/av_toggle]\r\n[av_toggle title='I\u2019m homeless \u2013 what now?' tags='' custom_id='' av_uid='av-282vdfv' sc_version='1.0' title_open='' title_pos='' slide_speed='' aria_collapsed='' aria_expanded='']\r\nThe bad news first \u2013 if you have a housing problem, we can't help you.\r\nWhat we can can help you with is your drug problem, which in turn will help you get back on your feet and able to seek the help you need in other areas of your life.\r\n\r\nThere are people at NA who have had similar experiences: lost their job, lost their partner or family, perhaps their health is in ruins and they've ended up on the street, on a park bench or in a homeless shelter. And many have made it into a new life with the help of the meetings.\r\n[\/av_toggle]\r\n[av_toggle title='I always relapse' tags='' custom_id='' av_uid='av-3wr8kr' sc_version='1.0' title_open='' title_pos='' slide_speed='' aria_collapsed='' aria_expanded='']\r\nWelcome \u2013 the great thing about NA is that you can keep coming back whether you're clean or not, whether you're relapsing or not. All we ask is \u2013 keep coming back and try to come clean.\r\n\r\nIt has taken many of us multiple tries to get and stay clean. For us, a relapse is no shame and no reason to give up. Rather, it is a chance to try again \u2013 always just for today. Many of us find that we can do in one day what seems impossible to imagine over a long period of time.\r\n[\/av_toggle]\r\n[av_toggle title='I have a mental illness' tags='' custom_id='' av_uid='av-4hh4ff' sc_version='1.0' title_open='' title_pos='' slide_speed='' aria_collapsed='' aria_expanded='']\r\nIn addition to addiction, many of us have other diagnoses such as borderline personality disorder, depression, psychosis or schizophrenic disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders and much more. Of course we can't treat these conditions at NA. We encourage you to seek additional help for that.\r\n\r\nWe can help you with your drug addiction and that in turn will help you to cope better with the rest of your life. Similarly affected members can share their experiences with you, letting you know how they've dealt with double diagnoses and how they manage to live clean.\r\n\r\nIf you have to take prescribed medication for a mental illness, please follow your doctor's recommendations.\r\n\r\nRead a member's story <a href=\"https:\/\/narcotics-anonymous.de\/artikel\/gelassenheit-im-herzen\/\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.\r\n[\/av_toggle]\r\n[av_toggle title='I have to take medication for health reasons' tags='' custom_id='' av_uid='av-13m1tbf' sc_version='1.0' title_open='' title_pos='' slide_speed='' aria_collapsed='' aria_expanded='']\r\nMany of us struggle with a variety of physical illnesses, either as a result of addiction or because of reasons other than our drug use. For many, this means taking medication for the rest of their lives. We cannot give you any medical recommendations about this. If you are prescribed medication for a physical or mental illness, please follow your doctor's recommendations.\r\n\r\nWe can help you with your drug addiction and that in turn will help you to cope better with the rest of your life.

We simply suggest that you try to come back clean. Maybe at some point you'll feel like trying it \"without it\".\r\n\r\nBy the way, NA hosts really great drug-free parties \u2013 look for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/narcotics-anonymous.de\/veranstaltungen\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Conventions<\/a>\u201d in our Newsticker announcements ...\r\n[\/av_toggle]\r\n[av_toggle title='I\u2019ve tried NA before, it didn\u2019t work' tags='' custom_id='' av_uid='av-mvpkln' sc_version='1.0' title_open='' title_pos='' slide_speed='' aria_collapsed='' aria_expanded='']\r\nWe know all about that! Many of us needed multiple attempts to get clean, and we tried many things, none of which seemed to work. Resignation sets in. But giving up is the one thing that for sure will not work.\r\n\r\nYou don't have to be clean to come to NA. Just keep coming back and try to come clean. You can just try it for one day. You can also try different meetings to see if you feel more connected or \"right\" in one of them. Meetings are all very similar, but they are all a little bit different. Give yourself a chance and try again.
