The general mission of our Groups
public information is to
inform addicts and others in the community of the
availability of recovery in
Narcotics Anonymous.
This web-site is not endorsed by
any NA entity other than the Galveston Groups of NA. Our
intention in posting this information on the World Wide Web is
to help fulfill our Primary Purpose to carry the message to the
Addict who still suffers.
As addicts, we have each experienced
the pain, loneliness, and despair of addiction. Before coming to NA,
most of us tried everything we could think of to control our use of
drugs. We tried switching drugs, thinking that we only had a problem
with one particular drug. We tried limiting our drug use to certain
times or places. We may even have vowed to stop using altogether at
a certain point. We may have told ourselves we would never do the
things we watched other addicts do, then found ourselves doing those
very things. Nothing we tried had any lasting effect. Our active
addiction continued to progress, overpowering even our best
intentions. Alone, terrified of what the future held for us, we
found the Fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous.
