Function, Purpose and History
Area Service functions as a committee with a facilitator, recorder, treasure, sub-committee chairs, service office representative and Group Service Representatives (GSR's). They all, as a body, represent the fellowship of NA as a whole in Houston Texas.
Their purpose is to serve the Groups and the City as it relates to Narcotics Anonymous. They are not a governing body or a body which issues laws or directives. They operate as guided by the Groups and the 12 Traditions.
The history of HASCONA goes back to the early eighties when several efforts to form a committee were attempted. The year 1982 was when the first committee meeting was held and a schedule was printed. In the early days it was called "Greater Houston Area Service Committee". The first schedule was printed listing 14 meetings which included listings in Alvin and Galveston. In the mid 80's Galveston / Tri-County formed their own area. Many of the original meetings met in hospitals, recovery centers and treatment facilities. NA was small but growing in the early 80's. Many of the early members of this committee are still involved today at various levels of service around the city, state and other states.
For history buffs you can look at a JPG image of the first schedule. This is just for history only, please use our current schedule to find a meeting!
