Privacy Policy

Our Twelfth Tradition states,” Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.”

Cookies: We believe in supporting the spirit of our tradition of personal anonymity on the Internet by stating clearly that we do not employ any technical means to track or identify any visitor to this web site. You may take this promise of anonymity for granted as an NA member and wonder why we need to bring this issue up. We do so because of others experiences with a few NA related web sites that use “cookies” to track your usage of their web sites. Even more objectionable is the use of cookies by outside organizations on these NA web sites. For further information on “cookies”, consult your Internet browser’s help utility or other Internet resource.

Communications: Any communication submitted to 916nothna.org will be treated with confidentiality and anonymity in mind. We will delete all communications received on a regular basis. We do not guarantee total anonymity in all circumstances. We suggest that the senders of e-mail or feedback forms take their own precautions if they desire to remain anonymous.

All communications are considered to be “official NA business” and require some level of identification for the purposes of responding to these communications. All efforts will be made to pass on communications in a timely manner to a responsible trusted servant.

There are alternative methods for communicating with service committees within the Greater Butte Area. These alternatives are listed on our contact information page. Please utilize this information if it is necessary to fulfill your needs.

Personal Requests: Under no circumstances will we forward e-mail of a personal nature to any NA member here in the Greater Butte Area. This is an official web site of the Greater Butte Area and we do not acknowledge anyone’s membership in Narcotics Anonymous. Thank you for respecting this policy.

Policy Changes: The policy outlined here will evolve in the future as the guidelines and policy for our website are changed at the direction of the Greater Butte Area Service Committee and/or the Web Committee.

Experience, Strength, and Hope. Carrying the Message since 1976

The Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous

1. We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. We humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. We made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. We continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

The Twelve Traditions of Narcotics Anonymous

1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends on NA unity.
2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.
3. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using.
4. Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or NA as a whole.
5. Each group has but one primary purpose—to carry the message to the addict who still suffers.
6. An NA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the NA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, or prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
7. Every NA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
8. Narcotics Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may employ special workers.
9. NA, as such, ought never be organized, but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
10. Narcotics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the NA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
