Adult Children of Alcoholics

Adult Children of Alcoholics is a Twelve Step, Twelve Tradition program of women and men who grew up in alcoholic or otherwise dysfunctional homes. We meet with each other in a mutually respectful, safe environment and acknowledge our common experiences. We discover how childhood affected us in the past and influences us in the present ("The Problem"). We take positive action. By practicing the Twelve Steps, focusing on "The Solution", and accepting a loving Higher Power of our understanding, we find freedom from the past and a way to improve our lives today.

NA of Mississippi
NA is a nonprofit fellowship or society of men and women for whom drugs had become a major problem. If you are new to our program please come to a meeting and see us. Narcotics Anonymous is a program that works. We help each other stay off of drugs and become productive members of society again. After coming to NA we realized we were sick people. We suffered from a disease from which there is no known cure. It can, however, be arrested at some point, and recovery is then possible.

National Counsel on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence of Mississippi

The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence of the Central Mississippi Area was established in 1949 as the Jackson Committee for Education on Alcoholism. Volunteers provided all services until the first Executive Director was hired in the 1950's as the community's needs for services grew. During the last 50 years, the Council has grown in size and in the number of services provided. Funding is made possible through United Way, private donations and grants.
