We know that nicotine is a subtly powerful mind and mood altering substance and that the craving for it can return at any time. Many who have stopped for years have found themselves smoking once more. Therefore, we meet regularly to avoid slipping back into the addiction. Our primary purpose is to help others and ourselves to live without smoking. Nicotine Anonymous meetings consist of two or more people getting together to share a common desire to be free of nicotine.
People share their experience, strength and hope.
In meetings we are introduced to the Twelve Steps of recovery. These Steps suggest a spiritual approach that can be used to overcome everyday living problems, as well as our nicotine addiction. Telephone numbers are exchanged and friends are made. Sponsors are found to help us with the program. Perhaps most important, we find we are not alone in our struggle against nicotine.
