NA Meetings ~ Raton

Mondays from 7 pm to 8 pm

Mesa Church  1st Street in Raton

Here’s what you can expect at your Narcotics Anonymous meeting:

• Opening discussion usually starts with a prayer and an introduction
• During introduction, members will state their names and if comfortable, may also state a little something about themselves such as their addiction or the number of days they have in sobriety
• Try to get to the meeting early so that you can meet with some of the members of the group early on. You might even find a sponsor during this time.
• Make the most out of the meeting by asking as many questions as you have and being open and honest
• If you can spend additional time to talk and mingle with other members of the group after the meeting, that will be good too
• If you are an addict who is in recovery, you can attend closed sessions but if you are not an addict and simply want to take some time to experience a meeting, attending an open meeting is the best option
• For the best results and the greatest support, NA recommends that new members attend one meeting every day for the first 90 days—90 meetings in 90 days
• Most meetings will have a single speaker and moderator and will focus on one of the twelve-steps of recovery, some include excerpts from the bible too
• Attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings regularly can help you to build bonds with other members of the group and you may progress through the twelve-steps with a better understanding of each
• The end goal is to be in recovery and to become a sponsor who can help others who are in their early stages of the NA program
