SKCNA Literature Subcommittee

NA Literature and the Member

All NA members are welcome to share their experience and understanding in written form. The way to participate is to become an active member in a local literature committee. (…) Through participation in literature committee forums and workshops, all members are encouraged to make suggestions for additions and deletions, and to write original material which they feel will improve the draft. The responsibility for reviewing and making input to literature rests with the member.

–Literature Committee Handbook, Pg. 1

Announcements

NA WORLD SERVICES INC., 2026 LITERATURE PRICE INCREASE.
NA World Services will be raising the prices of most materials in the literature inventory by 15% on January 1st.
The email from NAWS explains: “This wasn’t an easy decision, but a necessary one. Tariffs and production costs have risen dramatically, and we believe this adjustment is the most prudent way forward, especially as demand grows for the many resources we provide at no cost. Unfortunately, the circumstances requiring this change are out of our control. Our goal is to balance fiscal responsibility with the needs of the fellowship. As always, we are committed to stewardship of our resources, sustainably and responsibly, to meet the needs of our growing Fellowship in a changing world. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve.”

Monthly Literature Orders & Pick-Up

Please place Literature orders before midnight on the Thursday before the ASC meeting. If this deadline is not met the order may have to be resubmitted the following month. This is usually where groups and members can pick up their monthly lit orders. Now that our Area Service Committee has returned to “in person” monthly meetings, Literature is once again available at ASC. Please see the Service Calendar for ASC & Literature Pick-Up details.

Current Projects

Spiritual Principle A Day Book

Thanks to our collective efforts, a book that explores a spiritual principle each day of the year is taking shape.

Mental Health / Mental Illness IP

The approval draft is in the 2020 World Service Conference Agenda Report.

So that others may experience the freedom in recovery that we have found, we dedicate ourselves to carry the message of Narcotics Anonymous in written form. We pray: God, grant us the knowledge that we may write according to Your divine precepts. instill in us a sense of Your purpose. Make us servants of Your will and grant us a bond of selflessness, that this may truly be Your work, not ours – in order that no addict anywhere need die from the horrors of addiction.
