Welcome to the Esperanza Area of Narcotics Anonymous
TBRNA Regional Assembly

Our Regional Assembly will be held March 13th in Bay City, Texas. It will start at 10am and it is suggested that all GSRs attend. Below is an excerpt from the "Guide to Local Service describing the Regional Assembly. At this and every Regional Assembly we elect the next Regional Delegate/Alternate to service for the next conference cycle (two years).

Few months before the biennial meeting of the World Service Conference, the regional committee usually organizes an assembly of group service representatives. Regional assemblies bring representatives of NA groups together with RCMs and the regional delegate for the purpose of developing a collective conscience concerning issues affecting Narcotics Anonymous worldwide. That direct contact between the groups and the conference helps keep our world services attuned to the needs of our fellowship. Without the kind of primary foundation provided by the regional assemblies, it would be much more difficult for the World Service Conference to effectively address the concerns of the NA groups. Regional assemblies are a key ingredient in the maintenance of the NA groups’ final responsibility and authority for our fellowship’s services, spoken of in our Second Concept.

 
Third Step, Tradition and Concept

Third Step

We made a decision to turn our will and lives over to the care of God, as we understood Him.

Third Tradition

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using.

Third Concept

The NA groups delegate to the service structure the authority necessary to fulfill the
responsibilities assigned to it.

 
EANA History

The Esperanza Area of Narcotics Anonymous (EANA) was formed in October of 1986 from the Central Texas Area. EANA is geographically located in south central Texas including the cities of Crystal City, Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Floresville, Laredo, Pleasanton, Poteet, San Antonio, Uvalde and surrounding counties.

We are a group of people who join together to help each other with their drug problem. To get more information on what NA can offer, please visit the Narcotics Anonymous World Service webpage.

If you have found this webpage and think you have a drug problem, please go to the Meeting Schedule page and find a meeting close to you and come visit us. Remember that there is hope that any addict can lose the obsession to use drugs and become a productive member of society.

This website has some useful information on activities, meetings, our newsletter and will be evolving over time, so please come back and check us out!

 
December Newsletter

What was your biggest challenge as Outreach Chair?  The biggest challenges I had as outreach chair was getting different people to come to the trips, and visiting the groups as often as I wanted to while still keeping balance with the rest of my commitments. I loved visiting the groups and felt as though once every 3 months per group was not enough seeing as the outlying areas need all the support they can get. Going to the groups, meeting the people, and even exchanging numbers is amazing, but I felt as though it was not enough. We would travel up to 3 hours one-way and be there for 1 hour plus fellowship after, and  sometimes it was hard to leave.  I wanted to bring different people each time, and found that there are "Outreach Warriors" as I heard someone say, and then there was people that would always want to make the trips but had things come up.  I am so thankful for the warriors that I grew close with during my Outreach chair commitment because even though new faces would have been good, I think that seeing people committed to making the trips to support the outer areas really impacted the members of the groups we visited. -Nick R., past Outreach Chair, new Literature Bank Chair.
