In a certain way meditation and addiction are opposites: meditation is checking in with the here and now, while addiction is checking out of the here and now. Meditation can be a powerful tool for addicts at all stages of recovery. Researchers believe that meditation actually changes the physiology of the brain, building up areas associated with optimism and compassion and minimizing the strength of areas associated with fear, pessimism, and depression. Please bring your own cushion/pillow. This group is open to adults. Men/Women/Neutral This is a free group.

Maine Narcotics Anonymous is a fellowship of recovering drug addicts who have come together to solve their common problem of addiction. We apply a program of recovery with a single and profound promise: freedom from active addiction.
The best way to find out about NA is to come to a meeting and talk to some of our members. Meetings are gatherings of recovering addicts helping each other stay clean. Newcomers are always welcome and many members enjoy answering questions about their experience in NA.
You may also call our helpline at 1-800-974-0062. Our helpline service will connect you to one of our members. Many of us have found that speaking to a recovering addict can help us stay clean through those times when we feel like we are going to use.
