The Tampa Funcoast Area Help Line now includes text message service. Text messaging is especially helpful for people who just want meeting information or a quick referral. Also, it is immediate and does not require an internet connection. And at some point in the digital age, texting became the preferred method of communication.

The addition of text messaging to the Help Line service began on a trial basis in December. Then, at the January meeting, the Area Service Committee approved funding to continue the service.

The Radical Recovery Group of Narcotics Anonymous greets the new year with a new home.

The group plans to move its weekly meeting to The New Meeting Place, beginning on Friday, January 4, 2019. The meeting will begin at its usual time – 8:30 p.m. The addition of Radical Recovery to the Friday night schedule means almost continuous meetings from 5:45 p.m. until 1 a.m at The New Meeting Place, 11900 North Nebraska Avenue, Tampa, FL 33612.

Members of the Radical Recovery home group discussed closing the meeting, due to lack to participation. However, they decided that moving from Bethel Church to The New Meeting Place was a better alternative. Radical Recover is one of the oldest home groups in Tampa. The group began hosting meetings in the summer of 1986.
