"For over two decades, the conventions in the Greater Mobile Area have been conducted to reflect the primary purpose of NA: to carry the message to the addict who still suffers and to conform to NA's spiritual principles. Our convention is held to bring together our members in celebration of their recovery. Furthermore, the Mobile Area Convention aims to help addicts overcome their isolation, correct misinformation, and gain new information about recovery and service. Meetings, workshops, and other activities are scheduled to encourage unity and fellowship among our members."
