South Central Missouri Area of Narcotics Anonymous was formed in January of 2004. At that time, the intent was to better serve the Narcotics Anonymous meeting groups in South Central Missouri and that still holds true today.

The Area’s primary purpose: “To carry the message to the addict that still suffers”. In addition we strive to provide the support and services necessary for our sub-groups to better carry the message of Narcotics Anonymous: “That an addict, any addict, can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live.”

The South Central Missouri Area of Narcotics Anonymous is a service body for the fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous. It is comprised of several groups within the South Central Missouri Area, as they are defined in the Temporary Working Guide to the Service Structure, and it encourages these groups to participate in area activities.

The South Central Missouri Area Service Committee consists of the Group Service Representatives (GSR’s), Area Subcommittee Chairperson’s, trusted servants, and any other interested member of NA. The committee is ever mindful of the spiritual principles expressed in the Twelve Traditions of NA and strives to follow the true conscience of the NA Fellowship.

The functions of the South Central Missouri Area Service Committee include serving as a link of communication between groups and the Show-Me Region and to provide for themselves so that they may better carry the message of recovery. Unity of the members of the South Central Area Service Committee is critical to committee’s survival and to the effective function as a service unit to the group.

There are no ruling bodies in NA. Only trusted servants. It should be noted that the procedures set forth in these guidelines are simply that --- guidelines --- based on procedures that have been proven effective. Through these guidelines, the uniformity necessary may be found so that all can act together for the common of the fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous.
