NA Third Step Prayer and NA Recovery Prayers
In Narcotics Anonymous (NA), short prayers and mottos are often used as simple, repeatable reminders. Some are read aloud in meetings, some are shared during service work, and some are used privately between meetings when a person wants to slow down, ask for direction, or re‑center after a difficult moment. NA often describes this kind of practice as spiritual rather than religious, so people commonly apply the words in a way that fits their own beliefs. This article focuses on NA prayer with special attention to the NA 3rd step prayer. It also describes other Narcotics Anonymous prayers that are commonly heard, including the Serenity Prayer, a Service Prayer, and a gratitude motto. The goal is to explain meaning and typical use in a clear, neutral way; it is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for treatment, counseling, or emergency services.
