"The message is that an addict, any addict, can stop using drugs, lose the desire to use, and find a new way to live... That is all we have to give."

Basic Text, 5th Ed., p. 65      

The New Orleans Area Convention had its humble beginnings in 1993.

In 2005, following Hurricane Katrina, our area struggled for several years.

That struggle prevented  us from being able to hold a convention for the past 10 years.

With a dedication to service and goodwill, the New Orleans Area Service Committee

is now able to make NOACNA happen once again.

NOACNA-XIII in July, 2021, will restart a wonderful, bi-annual tradition for recovering addicts!
