The Seventh Tradition of Narcotics Anonymous states that, “every NA group should be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions“. This principle ensures that NA remains independent and free from external influences, allowing its focus to remain solely on helping members recover from addiction. As a result, people outside of NA, including non-members and organizations, are asked not to donate. This tradition reinforces the spirit of personal responsibility and unity within the fellowship, ensuring that members themselves sustain the program through their own contributions.
