Nicotine Anonymous (NicA) is a fellowship of men and women helping each other to live our lives free of nicotine. The only requirement for membership is the desire to stop using nicotine. NicA is based on the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions and 12 Concepts of Alcoholics Anonymous. The 12 Steps are the foundation for personal recovery and the 12 Traditions help NicA groups sustain their unity and fellowship. The Twelve Concepts of Service provide guidance for service in the fellowship.

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.
Feel free to download the Nicotine Anonymous Outreach Booklet for more information on Tradition Five and Step Twelve service work in NicA.

Whether you choose to do group level district level of other NicA service, your journey in service has begun. Feel free to contact the Recovery HQ Team and we will help find the service opportunity which best fits your needs.
