Google it sweetie...just type in NA meetings and things should pull up...or type in NA meetings and then your city...or you can call..there is a hotline to find out about local meetings...Not sure what the number is though...

Also, ask Mtgoat..she is a member here and an active member of NA..she can help you.

How you join is the only requirement for Na is the desire to stop using, That is tradition 3 of Na. I go lots of places and I just google it and find meetings it is great I can go anywhere and there is a meeting and people just like me!..

I use this site as my NA meeting.  Never been to a real one but I feel like I have one from the comfort of my couch.  Always someone hear to help with support. I am still amazed of the amount of people pills has a hold of.
Good luck in what ever decision you decide on.

na made the difference in my life, i know that i would not be where i am today without it
google na meeting locator, type in your town,
goto 90 meetings in 90 days
get a sponsor
work the steps
these are your 3 steps to freedom
you may not feel comfortable at your first meeting, please send me a message and let me know how it goes
people who are willing to drive to an na meeting, are usually the ones (like me) who stay clean for years
there are online meetings, but cyberrecovey is not the same
i hope you goto one tonight, also google na basic text online, start reading
you will love it

Google NA+yourcity,yourstate and that will get you  meetings, a map, and your life back.  The suport, and knowing you re not alone is invaluable!  I found some groups to be rather repetititive, and dull, but then a member told me to try other meetings, they are all different,kinda like clicks if you will..  I would highly advise you to see if there is a meeting at a detox facility near you as well- a REAL eye opener, and a look into where you will be if you don't stick to some program.  Also, ask the about cross-addicting.  Wish I knew then......

congralutions  This is the first step to long term clean time, I was nervous at first but remember we are all there for the same reasons. To get clean and stay clean one day at a time. Get phone numbers for when times get tough, women with women and men with men,90 in 90. Keep an open mind,,look for how you are like them stay away from looking at the differences, Read your book daily, Start a recovery journal,,you'll be so glad down the line that you did. You can do this. Countless others have come before you.Please contact me if you need anything with this,,I love you good luck.
