Discussion Questions

Gender-Neutral and Inclusive Language

For more information on this topic, see page 30 of the CAR.

For the purposes of these questions, we intend to focus on gender-neutral language in NA literature as described in the CAR essay—changes in the language that describes people (members and potential members), not language that describes a Higher Power. These changes in wording—from “men and women” to “people,” for instance—don’t change the meaning of the message in our literature; they allow more people to identify with it. Issues of the wording of our Steps and Traditions are for a future discussion. 


Given that we all want to provide a safe, welcoming inclusive Fellowship where everyone can recover (regardless of . . . ), are we willing to explore these types of changes in our literature in order to carry the message more effectively? If not, why not?

DRT/MAT in NA: Helping Members Take Root

For more information on this topic, see page 33 of the CAR.

Does your group or area ask members if they’re on MAT when they step up to celebrate or to serve? What do you do next?

How can we foster unity and respect members’ recovery process, given our differences? How do we get past our personal reservations and help newer members take root in our local communities?
