What Other Resources and Events Does Virtual NA Offer?

Virtual NA (virtual-na.org) is more than a meeting directory. Beyond its core list of online and phone Narcotics Anonymous meetings, the site also points visitors to marathons, NA events, and a "NA Global" section covering regions such as Australia, France (Réunions), and Russian-speaking groups (встречи). It also links to helplines for people seeking help right now. These sections exist so that addicts who cannot attend local face-to-face meetings — whether because of distance, isolation, or other reasons — can still find support in their own language and region.

Events and activities beyond regular meetings

The site's navigation lists several categories that go past the standard meeting finder:

• Marathons — extended NA meeting events, typically run over a longer block of time than a single meeting.
• NA Events — a section for NA-related events, separate from the recurring meeting schedule.
• Meetings — the main online and phone meeting directory.

If you already know how to find a regular meeting, these two sections are where you look for something outside the usual weekly slot. The site does not publish specific dates, formats, or registration details in the material available here, so treat the links as entry points and check each listing for current information.

The NA Global section

Virtual NA organizes part of its content by region and language. The headings visible on the site include:

This matters if English is not your first language or if you want a meeting that fits your time zone. Rather than translating a single global list, the site routes you to region- or language-specific resources. The practical use: pick the section that matches how you speak or where you are, then look for meetings or contacts there.

Getting help immediately

The site separates "find a meeting" from "get help now." The help path points to NA helplines around the world, with a link to find a helpline in your country. So if you need to talk to someone rather than sit in a meeting, the helpline route is the one to take — it is listed as a distinct option from the meeting directory.

How to use these resources

1. Decide what you need: a recurring meeting, a one-off event like a marathon, or immediate contact with a helpline.
2. For meetings, go to the meeting finder; for events, use the Marathons or NA Events sections.
3. If language or region is the priority, start from the NA Global section (Australia, Reuniões, Réunions, встречи) instead of the general list.
4. For urgent support, follow the helpline link and look up your country.

One caveat: the site is a directory and signposting hub, not the organizer of every listed event. Details such as times, platforms, and access requirements live with each individual listing, so verify before you commit to attending.
