Just for Today
When we think of being desperate, we envision an undesirable state: a poor, bedraggled soul frantically clawing at something sorely needed, a desperate look in the eyes. We think of hunted animals, hungry children, and of ourselves before we found NA.
Yet it was the desperation we felt before coming to NA that compelled us to accept the First Step. We were fresh out of ideas, and so became open to new ones. Our insanity had finally risen higher than our wall of denial, forcing us to get honest about our disease. Our best efforts at control had only worn us out; hence, we became willing to surrender. We had received the gift of desperation and, as a result, were able to accept the spiritual principles that make it possible for us to recover.
Desperation is what finally drives many of us to ask for help. Once we've reached this state, we can turn around and start anew. Just as the desperate, hunted animal seeks a safe haven, so do we: in Narcotics Anonymous.
If you have a drug problem, or just relapsed, our goal is to help you find recovery by connecting with other recovering addicts so that you can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live. This Website is designed to inform other individuals and organizations as well, so they can direct using addicts to find the help they need in Narcotics Anonymous. It is also a resource to those in service who are committed to helping the addict who still suffers by making recovery available and accessible to anyone with a desire to stay clean
The purpose of this website is to provide accurate and up-to-date information about Narcotics Anonymous in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. By making this information available on the internet, we hope to make ourselves more accessible to those with a focus on attraction rather than promotion. It is not our intention to promote the NA program, but it is our hope that those who are attracted to our way of life will be able to find us easily. Click here for site policies.
