Our primary purpose is, through the mail, to provide a sponsor to work the Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous to those people who are incarcerated in an institution, and are not able to meet potential sponsors at their local NA meetings.

Our interactions will only be via mail, not by telephone. Our mission is to ensure that any addict seeking recovery through a working knowledge of the Twelve Steps of Narcotics Anonymous has the opportunity to do so, even in an institution. 

Any addict can join the San Fernando Valley Area NAFBTW Subcommittee. To sponsor someone in an institution, an addict needs to have been clean for 2 years and have worked the Twelve Steps and have had no prior contact with, or knowledge of, their assigned sponsee. The sponsor must be off parole and have no convictions in the past 12 months.

For meeting information or any questions/comments email the subcommittee’s Chairperson Guy P:
