NicA is a 12-step program available to anyone who has a desire to stop using nicotine in any form, including those using medical or nicotine-withdrawal aids.
DEAR ANNIE: You recently wrote a column about a woman who was concerned because a fellow waitress was still smoking while pregnant. You recommended that she check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, which has good information on the subject.
There is another option that I wanted to tell you and your readers about called Nicotine Anonymous, or NicA. It is a 12-step program based on, but completely separate from, the Alcoholics Anonymous model. NicA is available to anyone who has a desire to stop using nicotine in any form, including those using medical or nicotine-withdrawal aids.
Since 1982, anyone can join at any time. The only requirement is that they desire to give up nicotine. Groups are self-supporting without dues or fees, and the meetings are ongoing for continual support. Numerous online and phone meetings are available every day. Group support is acknowledged as an essential part of a treatment plan to free people from the disease of addiction. All NicA meeting information and resources can be found at:.
