Transportation to NA meetings

How does one arrange that? I need to start going again and have no transportation. The list of numbers I had was in the glovebox of my now totaled car (never put any in my phone since I was a sporadic attendee).

I see an Outreach email address on the area website but it looks kinda generic and more for subcommittee stuff and mentoring to small meetings because of where and how it’s listed. Another issue is I live in the boonies, about 20 min from the nearest town with meetings.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Ask for meetings in your area and let them know you need a ride. They should guide you, and can likely contact someone who is an active member of the meeting that you wish to join. They, in turn, can hopefully get you a ride to and from. It might take one or two calls depending on their guidance.

If you attend a number of meetings, maybe you will meet someone who can drive you to the meetings who lives in
your area.

Here is their website for finding a meeting:

https://m.na.org/

General questions and guidance here:

fsmail@na.org
or
818.773.9999 x771

Not sure why the other number is faulty.

Good luck with it.
