At the bottom of this page is the September 2023 Services Workshop titled "Helping Nar-Anon, Helping" audio recording. This recording will help members understand how being of service is a very important part of our 12-Step recovery and to discuss the many big and small opportunities (many of which are easy and fun) that are available so YOU can be a part of giving back!
