The Edmonton Area Narcotics Anonymous Literature Committee’s purpose is defined in our guidelines as…
Our purpose is based on Tradition 9, “NA, as such, ought never to be organized, but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.” The Literature Committee helps carry the message in written form to the addict who still suffers; acquiring and maintaining a stockpile of Narcotics Anonymous literature for distribution to EANA individuals and groups. Provide a forum and atmosphere where members may contribute to the development and creation of new NA literature. The Literature Committee serves as the communication link in all matters of literature between the groups, the Area, the Region and the World. “Our service structure depends on the integrity and effectiveness of our communications. (8th Concept)
