Online meetings, NA Chatrooms, NA forums like what we have here at MIP, speaker tapes links like the one Vini posted above, getting and reading NA literature books like Basic Text, It Works How And Why, Just For Today Daily Meditations Book etc., and like Ken said, there are face-to-face meetings all almost all times nowadays at many places in USA and Canada, you can locate them through the NA website www.na.org

There are so many ways to stay clean and recover, all we need is a desire to stop using, stay clean and recover...

Also there is a saying that my first Sponsor always used to remind me when I was a few months clean... It is my life that needs to be fit around my recovery program, not the other way around. Also, my experience confirmed so. I tried to get on with my studies and job, friends and relationships as soon as I got clean many a times, trying to squeeze in whatever program I was able to in between these pursuits... I did not understand that I'm dealing with a progressive, incurable and fatal disease that cripples me not only physically, but also emotionally, socially and spiritually - addiction - that needed to be treated first and foremost for me to be alive at all for to graduate, make it big jobwise, and to have relationships at all...

My sponsor told me that whatever I place ahead of my personal recovery (making regular meetings and working the steps) would be the second thing that I'll lose. And that came true in my early struggles too ( I relapsed, lost my job, could not complete my professional qualifications, my ex-girlfriend got married to another etc.)

Then, after my last relapse, I did not do anything except stay clean, make meetings, pick up a Sponsor and work the Steps for almost one year of my recovery. I just followed my Sponsor's guideline that said "Work the Program, not the problems!"

When I did just that, I slowly got all that came as a result of my working the steps - a good job that I'm passionate about, a wonderful understanding partner and relationship, a great bond with my family, financial security, emotional wellbeing, mental stability, social skills, new horizons keep opening up even today in my recovery, but, believe me, I never went after any of these. I just continue to work the program and the rest is given as a result of living this program.

Just my personal experiences. I would like to add here that many of my friends in NA were into a good job, continued and excelled in their educational pursuits, were already in a relationship etc right from the time they got clean, and that shows without doubt that it has also been possible for many...
