I was a hopeless, dope fiend at one time and I've been doing it for years. And I love it because it gave me a life worth living.
Imagine having a treasure trove of memorabilia that tells the story of a movement. That's exactly what Danny M. brings to the table in this episode of 'One Podcast At A Time'. With one of the largest collections of Narcotics Anonymous (NA) memorabilia, Danny offers a captivating look into the early days of NA, sharing how it all began as a fellowship to help drug addicts get clean and stay clean.

What sets this episode apart is Danny's heartfelt reflections on the growth and challenges NA has faced over the years. His closing words resonate deeply: 'I was a hopeless, dope fiend at one time and I've been doing it for years. And I love it because it gave me a life worth living'. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the history and ongoing impact of Narcotics Anonymous.
