NA is a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. We are recovering addicts who meet regularly to help each other stay clean. This is a program of complete abstinence from all drugs. There is only one requirement for membership, the desire to stop using. We suggest that you keep an open mind and give yourself a break. Our program is a set of principles written so simply that we can follow them in our daily lives. The most important thing about them is that they work.
There are no strings attached to NA. We are not affiliated with any other organizations, we have no initiation fees or dues, no pledges to sign, no promises to make to anyone. We are not connected with any political, religious, or law enforcement groups, and are under no surveillance at any time. Anyone may join us, regardless of age, race, sexual identity, creed, religion, or lack of religion.
We are not interested in what or how much you used or who your connections were, what you have done in the past, how much or how little you have, but only in what you want to do about your problem and how we can help. The newcomer is the most important person at any meeting, because we can only keep what we have by giving it away. We have learned from our group experience that those who keep coming to our meet regularly stay clean. |

Before coming to the Fellowship of NA, we could not manage our own lives. We could not live and enjoy life as other people do. We had to have something different and we thought we had found it in drugs. We placed their use ahead of the welfare of our families, our wives, husbands, and our children. We had to have drugs at all costs. We did many people great harm, but most of all we harmed ourselves. Through our inability to accept personal responsibilities we were actually creating our own problems. We seemed to be incapable of facing life on its own terms.
Most of us realized that in our addiction we were slowly committing suicide, but addiction is such a cunning enemy of life that we had lost the power to do anything about it. Many of us ended up in jail, or sought help through medicine, religion, and psychiatry. None of these methods was sufficient for us. Our disease always resurfaced or continued to progress until, in desperation, we sought help from each other in Narcotics Anonymous.
After coming to NA we realized we were sick people. We suffered from a disease from which there is no known cure. It can, however, be arrested at some point, and recovery is then possible.
We also have some information for professionals and a help page for those who think they may have a problem with drugs. More of our literature can be found on the NAWS website. |

This site is intended to be a resource for members seeking current data regarding recovery meetings, service committees and events. We also provide general information about Narcotics Anonymous for non members and professionals. |

If you find that you cannot stop using drugs, give yourself a break, you are not alone. We have all been where you are and have found freedom through Narcotics Anonymous. We suggest that you join us on this journey of recovery. Check out our helpline or meeting pages, find a meeting in your locale and come visit us.
If you are not in Texas, the Pensacola Area has a national meeting link list and a meeting search engine is available on the NAWS website. |

TBRNA is here, simply, to help unite and assist member areas in fulfilling our primary purpose of carrying the message of recovery to the addict who still suffers. This is acomplished by providing resources for subcommittee efforts and keeping the lines of communications open between the areas and the larger worldwide NA community.
Currently our member areas are Rio Grande Valley, Brazos Valley, Central Texas, Coastal Bend, Esperanza, Hill Country, Houston, Northside, Southeast Texas, and Texas Tri County. To find out more about the individual areas, most have their own websites or use the meeting search page to define the city coverage for each.
The message is that an addict, any addict, can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way of life. Our message is hope and the promise of freedom. |
