What is M.A.?

← All readings

M.A. is a non-profit fellowship of men and women for whom drug use has become a major problem.  Most, but not all of us, found this program after going to some facility to seek help with our addiction to various drugs.

We desire to free ourselves from the drugs that had overpowered and enslaved us and to find recovery and a new way of life.  While trapped in our active addiction we became surrounded in a drug-controlled world in which our focus was the getting, using and ways and means to get more.  Our living and coping skills were reduced to an almost animalistic level.

Today with each other's help we can learn new coping and life skills.  Recovery is possible.  MA has no requirements.  No referrals are needed.  We have no initiation fees, no contracts to sign.  Nothing is required of you, and you are free to come and go as you like.  We will not chase you down or try or force you to seek recovery.  You are a member of this fellowship when you say you are.  We welcome all who attend our meetings with open arms.

We, as a fellowship, do not focus on what your drug of choice was, what happened in your past, or who you may have harmed, but instead, what you want to do about your problem - and how we can help.  We believe that through using the tools of this program and using whatever recovery options you choose we can lose the desire to use and find a new way of life.
