NA World ServicesVision Statement
All of the efforts of Narcotics Anonymous World Services are inspired by the primary purpose of the groups we serve. Upon this common ground we stand committed.
Our vision is that one day:
• Every addict in the world has the chance to experience our message in his or her own language and culture and find the opportunity for a new way of life;
![Page 5: WSLD XXII October 10, 11, 12 2008 Workshops I Attended Fellowship Development Long Term Service and Recovery Technology Hospitals & Institutions Attraction](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f155503460f94c2a127/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• NA communities worldwide and NA world services work together in a spirit of unity and cooperation to carry our message of recovery;
• Narcotics Anonymous has universal recognition and respect as a viable program of recovery.
As our commonly held sense of the highest aspirations that set our course, our vision is our touchstone, our reference point, inspiring all that
we do. Honesty, trust, and goodwill are the foundation of these ideals. In all our service efforts, we rely upon the guidance of a loving Higher Power.
