NicA Service

NicA Service Structure

Nicotine Anonymous World Services and the regional Intergroups support all Nicotine Anonymous groups and individual members. Both are staffed with volunteer staff who provide services, maintain the Nicotine Anonymous web sites and help to carry the message of recovery to nicotine addicts who still suffer.

Nicotine Anonymous service is structured in an inverted pyramid featuring three levels of service similar to that of Alcoholics Anonymous. The three levels of service include the meeting/group, which occupies the broad base at the top of the pyramid. The middle level represents service at the regional intergroup level. The tip of the pyramid consists of serving at the worldwide level at Nicotine Anonymous World Services.

New members are encouraged to get involved in service at the group level of NicA. Once you have established your foundation at the group level, we encourage you to branch to the next level of service at the regional intergroup level, before moving on to the worldwide level of Nicotine Anonymous. Ways you can get involved at the local group level include.

• Bring a friend to a meeting
• Set-up and break down the meeting
• Speak at a meeting, share your experience, strength and hope.
• Welcome newcomers, give them your phone number
• Say yes to service and grow in NicA.
• Be Secretary or Chairperson of a Group/Meeting
• Be a Sponsor in NicA
• Volunteer in the Intergroup Office
• Answer phones to be there for a struggling addict and/or their loved ones
