<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>

Privacy Policy

We delete the group (public) messages approximately every 60-200 minutes. These messages are NOT retained, logged or kept by NEVERALONECLUB.ORG unless they are "reported."


When reported, those messages are scored by outside third party AI. One of your human mods (eventually) checks it to make sure we agree with the decision that was made by our automoderator.


At this time the automoderator is only empowered to delete an “inappropriate” message and make it vanish from everybody’s screen in real time.


The automoderator is not “empowered” to ban or silence you without human review and intervention.


Please use the automated report function. Do NOT gossip/complain to staff about others simply because you do not get along with them. You can visit their profile, IGNORE them and no longer engage them.

PRIVACY OF GUEST ACCOUNTS

"Guest Login" accounts go offline and disappear all on their own. There is no need to sign off or cancel or delete your guest account. We run a job that purges guest accounts and any IP/session/login data associated with them.

Please consider chatting anonymously with a Guest Login if you need to vent about your job or spouse or anything else that could be compromising , jeopardize your livelihood or relationships with others if it were tied to you.

COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS ACT (CPRA)

You are in control of your data. You are free to use a "burner" Guest Login that will be erased by a cron job and clear our cookies from your browser cache. You can also visit us in a "new private tab" and use a Guest Login. In this situation, we retain no data about you where CPRA even applies.

For registered accounts, you can edit your own profile and select "Deactivate Profile: Yes."

Any accounts that have remained in a deactivated status for over 30 days will be purged. You can ask us in chat or via a blog comment to delete everything immediately upon receipt if you wish.


TRACKERS FOR CDN AND MEDIA PLAYBACK

We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies when you visit our website, including any other media form, media channel, mobile website, or mobile application related or connected thereto (collectively, the "Site") to help customize the Site and improve your experience. We reserve the right to make changes to this Cookie Policy at any time and for any reason. Any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting the updated Cookie Policy on the Site, and you waive the right to receive specific notice of each such change or modification. You are encouraged to periodically review this Cookie Policy to stay informed of updates. You will be deemed to have been made aware of, will be subject to, and will be deemed to have accepted the changes in any revised Cookie Policy by your continued use of the Site after the date such revised Cookie Policy is posted.

SHARING SOCIAL MEDIA OR PERSONAL CONTACT INFORMATION IN OPEN CHAT: IT’S NOT AGAINST THE RULES. IT’S JUST DUMB.

Our official position is that even if most social media companies were not absolutely *cancer* , you could be putting yourself at risk by sharing links to your social media profiles. We strongly discourage this.

If you take things off the site we cannot “protect” you with features like friending/unfriending/blocking or by taking actions such as range/CIDR banning them or their VPN provider etc if you keep your personal information to yourself until you at least get to know someone well enough to know that they mean well.

Make sure we’re all here to get better, before you start giving out this kind of information.

Every single one of these “recovery” sites — whether they take a public position on it or not, we’ve met several of the other owners and founders of them at conventions — are plagued by many of the same problems whether they publicly acknowledge it or not — someone needs to — which can be summed up as 1) some of us are just here to get better— and if that’s you, welcome. 2) We ALL get sex pests ,serial cyber sexers , financial predators, serial harassers/cyberstalkers. And they “need to go.”

STAFF ACCOUNTABILITY


Nia (aka Pickles) is the only staff member who can see who reported what / whom.  You are assured that if you report a message from anyone —including our staff, volunteers, and moderators or anyone purporting to be on our staff— the “report” is the only “proof” you need.

This behavior will be dealt with confidentially and promptly. When we say “we are going to get rid of these people”, this includes the immediate termination of staff of this very website if they are attempting to engage our visitors in financial or sexual activity.

We have a zero tolerance policy for this from staff and volunteers.



Keep your private and social media/contact information away from strangers — do not accept theirs when they post it — do not “assume positive intent” , so that you can avoid being victimized by this type of behavior.
