Today, we understand that the Fellowship and the Twelve Step Program of Heroin Anonymous are both vital components of our sobriety. In our Fellowship, you will see heroin addicts sincerely applying the Twelve Steps in their lives, helping one another, freely passing on their experience to the next person who is desperately searching for a way out of their own heroin addiction.

As Heroin Anonymous, we need money to carry the message to the still-suffering heroin addict. A lot of times, this can be achieved by holding events to raise funds. For example, many of us are familiar with renting space to hold a Heroin Anonymous meeting so that the newcomer can find a similar experience to that with which we have been blessed. Meetings are not the only way money and resources can be utilized within our fellowship. We hold conferences and conventions, produce chips and literature, and maintain a website, all with the ultimate aim of supporting our primary purpose.

Tradition 7 states, “Experience has often warned us that nothing can so surely destroy our spiritual heritage as futile disputes over property, money, and authority.” Our traditions emphasize that it is our responsibility as members to contribute to our fellowship.
