Does a person have to be Clean to attend an NA Meeting?
Newcomers don’t have to be Clean when they get here but after the first meeting we suggest that they Keep Coming Back and come back Clean. We want the place where we recover to be a safe place. For that reason we ask that no drugs or paraphernalia be brought to any meeting. If you can’t stop using for now, don’t stop attending meetings or not attend them. We do not turn people away from meetings because they are not yet Clean or because they Relapsed.
