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.).

Finding home

I  love NA! My husband came into the rooms in 1990, and I arrived in 1996. The journey has been incredible. Through living the NA way, we have been blessed to have the opportunity to travel to many different venues across the world. Before each trip, we always look online to find NA meetings in or around the area to which we are traveling.

We recently traveled to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and found three meetings in the general vicinity. We printed the addresses, and off to Mexico we went. We landed in San Jose del Cabo and jumped into a taxi—destination: our hotel.

On the way, I saw what looked like an NA logo hanging in a storefront window. I glimpsed it out of the corner of my eye, and then it was gone. I mentioned it to my husband, and we smiled at each other. Two days later—with the address we found on the Internet in our hands—we rented a car and started on our journey to find an NA meeting.
	We searched for the address, even asking a local to join us in our search. We scoured the area for about an hour but could not find the meeting. It seemed that no one knew of this address. We decided to backtrack toward the airport to see if we could find that NA logo. Twenty minutes later, there it was, hanging in a storefront, just as I remembered it. I was so excited. It still amazes me how we recover all over the world.
As you can tell from the NA logos all over the front, the members of this “Just for Today” group are proud of our fellowship. So much for anonymity! We walked in, and we were home. Although we did not speak the language, the chairperson (who spoke English) welcomed us. The meeting had just moved to that location four weeks earlier.
	Certainly there are no coincidences—God was the director of this journey! The chairperson called another recovering addict to interpret the meeting for us, and it was business as usual. Thank you, San Jose del Cabo, for carrying the message to us. We loved your meeting, and we are truly grateful to be a part of this wonderful fellowship we call NA.
