<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>

Dealing With Change in Recovery

DEALING WITH CHANGE IN RECOVERY


Change can be a scary thing, especially when you're in recovery. You've worked hard to get where you are and the idea of shaking things up can be unsettling. But resistance to change can be even more dangerous. Recovery is all about growth and evolution. Without change, we become stagnant and we risk falling back into old habits. It's important to recognize when you're resisting change in your recovery. It can be easy to stay in your comfort zone, but that won't lead to any real progress. 


Embracing change, even when it's difficult, can lead to greater self-awareness and a deeper understanding of yourself and your journey. So how do you overcome your fear of needed change? Start by acknowledging your feelings. It's natural to feel apprehensive about the unknown, but don't let that hold you back. Talk to others in recovery who have gone through similar changes. Lean on your support system as you navigate new territory. Remember that change doesn't have to be a massive upheaval. 


Even small changes can make a big impact on your recovery. Maybe it's trying a new hobby or activity, or attending a new support group. The important thing is to keep moving forward. In the end, it's up to you to decide if you're ready for change. But remember that your recovery journey is all about growth and progress. Embrace new opportunities and be open to new experiences. You never know what you might discover about yourself along the way.
