The aim was to reach persons, communities and patients unable to travel to existing face-to-face NA meetings. NA’s online meetings have grown substantially, and towards the end of last year, online meetings were reaching communities and individuals in remote areas of South Africa that had not yet had the benefit of face-to-face NA meetings.
Meetings which have been expanded to 10 meetings each day of the week, have since also become a vital part across the rest of Africa.
The established online platform with experienced members allows NA South Africa to provide support to addicts all over the world. NA’s 12 step programme provides support and helps addicts attain and maintain a lifestyle of recovery.
They are a fellowship of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. They are recovering addicts who meet regularly to help each other stay clean.
Key to the programme’s helping addicts stay clean is regular attendance of NA meetings and finding a sponsor. A sponsor is a more experienced member who serves as a guide through the 12 steps for another addict.
If you’re an addict, NA can help. Their message is broad enough to attract addicts regardless of gender, race, creed or religion.
For more information on times and dates of online meetings visit NA’s website or phone the national helpline on 0861 00 6962.
