WHAT IS HEROIN ANONYMOUS?
Heroin Anonymous is a non-profit fellowship of men and women who
have found a solution to
heroin addiction. HA is a fellowship of complete
abstinence from all drugs and alcohol. We
are recovered heroin addicts who meet regularly to help each other
stay sober.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to
stop suffering from heroin addiction. There are no dues or fees for
H.A. membership. H.A.
is not allied with any sect, denomination,
politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in
any controversy and neither endorses nor
opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other heroin addicts
to achieve
sobriety.
Heroin Anonymous is concerned solely with the
personal recovery and continued sobriety of heroin addicts who turn
to us for help. We do not
provide drug counseling, medical or psychiatric
treatment, chemical dependency treatment, or therapy of any form.
Our members consist of
individuals who have found a better way of life.
We have recovered from our heroin addiction and simply wish to offer
help to those who suffer.
We are fully self-supporting, we accept voluntary
contributions from our members for our expenses, and we respectfully
decline outside
contributions.
Our Program of Recovery was adapted from the
program developed by Alcoholics Anonymous in 1935. We apply the
Twelve Steps as done in A.A.
(which we are not affiliated), which involves one
heroin addict helping another to achieve freedom from their heroin
addiction.
In our Fellowship you will see one heroin
addict helping another, freely passing on their experience to the
next person who is desperately searching
for an answer to their own heroin addiction.
If
you would like to start a meeting in your area, send us your mailing
address and we will mail you a
start up kit at no cost. We want all heroin
addicts who have a desire to recover to know that you are
not alone and there are other heroin addicts
who have found a way to recover from heroin addiction.
