Mission Statement
"If you're here, you're a part of this thing."
The Never Alone Recovery Community is an independent community focused on connecting people to recovery resources.
History
This community was previously known through an earlier online chat space.
While we respect recovery traditions that have shaped many online spaces, we are not a continuation of NA or any affiliated service.
Our original domain name is still active and will continue to bring visitors here. We ask that when sharing or linking to our community, you please use neveralonerc.org.
We maintain our own purpose while respecting the purpose of meetings
We recognize that many people who visit us are taking an important first step toward recovery. Whether they stay here, attend a meeting, or choose another recovery resource, we want that first experience to encourage them to continue seeking support.
Our community includes people from a variety of recovery fellowships, and we recognize that no single path works for everyone.
How We Connect Today
When the "NA Chatroom" began in the early 2000s, online recovery meetings were limited.
As online meetings have expanded, our focus is helping people find active Zoom meetings across the recovery community. The chatroom also remains available for sharing information and real-time connection.
We maintain an online meeting information page listing active NA and/or other 12-step meetings, with direct Zoom and phone access for those seeking immediate entry without chat or login.
Cooperative Structure
The Never Alone Recovery Community is being developed as a member-owned cooperative. The legal structure is still evolving, but we welcome input and suggestions from the community.
We are not governed by the Seventh Tradition, though we respect the principle of self-support and the tradition of declining outside contributions.
