Admitting to having a problem is the first step in the twelve-step program of NA. This is important to recognize and acknowledge in order to begin the process of recovery. While learning problem-solving skills, taking a moral inventory of self, and making amends to people they have hurt are important aspects of the program, admitting to having a problem is the very first priority.
