When is the SWATL Area Meeting?

Area meetings are held on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 36 Salbide Avenue Newnan, GA. 

Narcotics Anonymous membership is open to anyone who has a desire to stop using drugs. Simply attend a meeting and makes a personal decision to join; there is no formal application, dues or fees. NA emphasizes anonymity, mutual support, and a commitment to recovery through working the Twelve Steps with other members. The only requirement for membership is the desire to stop using.

To get involved in Area-level service, please attend the monthly area meeting or sub-committee meeting for which you would like to join. Typically, a member starts by attending their home group’s business meeting and expressing interest in service.

Area Groups elect a Group Service Representative (GSR) who attends monthly ASC meetings and carry the group’s voice to the Area. Members can also volunteer directly for Area subcommittees, usually after meeting clean-time requirements outlined in area guidelines. Attending an Area meeting is the best first step to learn about open positions and current needs.

Southwest Atlanta Area Sub-committees include: 

  • Hospitals & Institutions (H&I): Coordinates NA meetings and presentations in treatment centers, jails, and hospitals to carry the message to addicts who cannot attend regular meetings.

  • Public Relations (PR): Provides accurate information about NA to the public and professionals, and may include phone line and website services.

  • Activities: Organizes recovery events, workshops, and fundraisers that support unity and generate funds for services.

  • Literature: Maintains and distributes NA literature to groups and committees.

  • Policy: Develops and updates Area service guidelines to ensure alignment with NA principles.

Area service is an opportunity to practice the NA principles while helping carry the message of recovery to the still-suffering addict.
