Info

Picture this NA communities are invited to send photographs of their meeting places and events. Sorry, we cannot use photos that identify NA members. Please tell us the group/event name, location, how long it has been in existence, format or special traditions, and what makes it a unique part of your NA community. Sigamos Viviendo On Tuesday, 28 August 2012, we opened the first Narcotics Anonymous meeting of the Sigamos Viviendo (Let’s Keep Living) Group in the city of Rio Grande in the province of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, thus becoming what we believe to be the southernmost NA group in the world. All this was possible thanks to a Higher Power, the support of fellow members, and groups like “Amor y Comprensión” (the Love and Understanding Group) from the city of Jose Leon Suarez, the Hurlingham Group from the city of Palomar, the Castelar Group, other isolated groups, and our regional office. Our group is located in the cultural center, Yaganaes, 319 Avenida Belgrano. We meet on Tuesdays and Thursday at 6:00 pm. At first, the only member who attended the meeting would share via telephone, but by using this important tool, the telephone, other members began to arrive. They then helped by distributing flyers in public places and posting meeting announcements in the local newspaper. One member maintained his anonymity by painting his face like a mime and wearing a costume so he could distribute flyers. We also appreciate the mother of one of our members, who helps and supports us on Thursdays, when our meeting has an open format. We want to thank everyone who contributed to establish this group. We know we can do this—and that it works when we respect our traditions and concepts. If someday you come around here, you have an NA group that will greet you with love. Thank you and a happy “just for today.” Leonardo I, Rio Grande, Argentina 8 The NA Way Magazine – January 2013 Because of its latitude (about 600 miles north of Antarctica), Rio Grande has very cool temperatures year round. the average temperature is about 11 degrees Celsius (about 52 degrees Fahrenheit) during the warmest months (January and February). Frost can occur throughout the year, and summers tend to be cloudy and very windy. Freak snowfalls can even occur in midsummer.
