<p>NACHATROOM.ORG - Online Narcotics Anonymous Meetings & Chatroom <p> <p>We were a group of Narcotics Anonymous with two daily online meetings where addicts seeking recovery can chat 24/7 for support and fellowship. It's free. No registration is required, and we don't ask for your contact info or e-mail address. A first name or a chat handle will suffice.<p> Just type a nickname into the chat box above and click "connect" to instantly join the room and begin talking to other recovering addicts who are here to share their experience, strength, and hope with each other!</p> You can choose to remain anonymous if you wish, the chatroom will give you a name like "NAGuest123" by default. Don't be afraid to just listen. Or share whatever you feel comfortable sharing, especially if it will get you through today.<p> We welcome you whether you identify as an addict, an "alcoholic," (in NA, alcohol is a drug), or are just starting to wonder whether you have a problem.<p> Our primary purpose is to carry the message of NA to the addict who is still suffering. In NA, we like to say that NA = "Never Alone." <p> NA has only ONE promise to make, and that is: <p> "The message is that an addict, any addict, can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live.... That is all we have to give." (NA Basic Text, 5th Ed., p. 65) <p> At all other times this is "open chat," making it more like what we call "fellowship" in NA, rather than what we would call a "meeting." Feel free to suggest a recovery topic or type !jft to play the NA Just For Today meditation.<p> We have no affiliation whatsoever with Narcotics Anonymous World Services. We are merely "one group" out of more than 63,000 groups. Nor are we even the only NA group online. <p> Please stick around and greet visitors! This may be their first exposure to an NA group. <p> <p>Any two or three addicts gathered together may call themselves an N.A. group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation. This website is not endorsed by any Narcotics Anonymous entity other than NACHATROOM.ORG. This website no longer hosts a chatroom meetings in the "NA" format.<p> I don't care how attached anyone is to them, they're all disease and no solution. People aren't going to meetings or reading literature. You need to give them an engaging topic while you still have them on the line.<p> We have moved to <a href="https://www.neveraloneclub.org" target="new">https://www.neveraloneclub.org</a> <p> Our official blog is <a href="https://blog.neveraloneclub.org" target="new">https://blog.neveraloneclub.org</a>. This will give you some examples of what a discussion topic may look like in a future meeting. <p> Meetings and recovery topics will resume on NEVERALONECLUB.ORG in April of 2023. They will be in a secular, non-NA format. <p>

Anxiety / Mental Stress

ANXIETY


It's not uncommon for individuals who struggle with addiction to also experience high levels of anxiety, which can make the recovery process even more challenging. However, there are ways to manage anxiety and make progress towards a healthier, sober lifestyle. Here are some suggestions: 


Practice mindfulness - Mindfulness is a technique that involves focusing on the present moment and accepting your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Regular mindfulness practice can help reduce anxiety by promoting a sense of calm and relaxation. 

Exercise - Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood boosters. Regular exercise can help reduce anxiety by increasing levels of feel-good chemicals in the brain. 

Connect with others - Social support is essential for recovery, but it can also help reduce anxiety by providing a sense of connection and belonging. Spend time with friends, family, or attend recovery meetings to build a support network. 4. Seek professional help - If anxiety is making it difficult to manage daily tasks, it may be helpful to seek professional help. A therapist can provide guidance and support in navigating anxiety and other challenges in recovery. 

Overall, it's important to be kind to yourself in the recovery process. Don't be afraid to ask for help and take things one step at a time. Remember, recovery is a journey and progress is still progress, no matter how small.
