Picture this

NA communities are invited to send photographs of their meeting places. We especially welcome photos that include meeting formats, recovery literature, posters, dirty coffee cups, and anything else that makes the meeting place look “lived in.” Sorry, we cannot use photos that identify NA members. Please tell us about your meeting, its name, the location and city, how long it has been in existence, and what your format consists of (speaker, participation, etc.).

Recovery First Group

The Recovery First Group uses this unique keytag rack, crafted by a group member. The foundation is a storage box for additional keytags, and the round base revolves on the foundation. The rising sides of the pyramid are made of Brazilian walnut, and the NA symbol in the center is carved from purple heart, a South American hardwood. Smaller racks have been made for other groups in the Northwestern Michigan Area. Since April 1996, the Recovery First Group has met at a coffee shop on Front Street in Traverse City at noon on Mondays and Thursdays, and at 8 pm Tuesdays.

NA Chulan Group

“Recovery Boleh!” and “Thank God It’s Friday” are the Wednesday and Friday night meetings of the NA Chulan Group in Kuala Lumpur. “Boleh” means “can” or “able,” so the translation is, “Recovery Is Possible!” On Wednesday nights the meeting uses a topic/participation format, and on Fridays it is a steps and traditions study. The group, referred to by many members as “the mother group” of the Malaysian NA community, was established in 1987 and registered with the World Service Office in 1994. There are currently six NA meetings in Malaysia.
