Our Freedom, Our Responsibility

1. Our Freedom, Our Responsibility “The final responsibility and authority for NA services rests with the NA groups.” Second Concept

2. Our Freedom, Our Responsibility • Getting clean opens a world of possibilities. • We learn that if we want to keep something we have to take care of it. • We take care of NA by giving back what we’ve been given—the NA message. • NA services allow the NA groups to carry a message.

3. Our Freedom, Our Responsibility • Groups help by carrying the message; service bodies provide services. • When services suffer, groups are limited in their ability to reach the still-suffering addicts. • Service helps free us from self-obsession by increasing our concern for others. • Other members served for us; now we can make recovery possible for someone else.

4. Our Freedom, Our Responsibility • How did someone else’s service efforts help you find NA? • How do you exercise responsibility to help others find NA?

5. Our Freedom, Our Responsibility • We each have our own story. • People welcomed us and “showed us the ropes.” • We can also be examples in service of how to help others.

6. Our Freedom, Our Responsibility • How can we help inspire others to get involved in service to NA?
