What Is Coquina Coast?
The Coquina Coast Area of Narcotics Anonymous (NA) serves Palm Coast and all of Flagler County, Florida, along with home groups in St. Johns County. Our area provides Narcotics Anonymous meetings and recovery support for addicts seeking recovery.
Formerly part of the Daytona Area of Narcotics Anonymous, Coquina Coast Area NA was formed in response to growing membership and increasing geographic distance. On November 11, 2018, the Coquina Coast Area of Narcotics Anonymous was officially established to better serve the recovery needs of Palm Coast, Flagler County, and surrounding communities.
Our purpose is consistent with that of all Narcotics Anonymous areas: to support our home groups and NA as a whole. As stated in NA’s Ninth Tradition, members “create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.” The Coquina Coast Area Service Committee is the service body closest to our home groups, placing it in the best position to provide direct support, coordination, and outreach to NA groups and the broader Palm Coast and Flagler County community.
Welcome to Narcotics Anonymous!
NA offers addicts a way to live drug-free. If you are not sure you’re an addict, don’t worry about it; just keep coming to our meetings. Most addicts experience very similar feelings, and it is in focusing on our similarities, rather than our differences, that we are helpful to one another. “The therapeutic value of one addict helping another is without parallel.”
Who is an addict?
Most of us do not have to think twice about this question. We know! Our whole life and thinking was centered in drugs in one form or another—the getting and using and finding ways and means to get more. We lived to use and used to live. Very simply, an addict is a man or woman whose life is controlled by drugs. We are people in the grip of a continuing and progressive illness whose ends are always the same: jails, institutions, and death.
What Is Narcotics Anonymous?
NA is a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. We are recovering addicts who meet regularly to help each other stay clean. This is a program of complete abstinence from all drugs. There is only one requirement for membership, the desire to stop using.
