The Untold Story Behind NA's 'Living Clean' Manuscript

This original manuscript is just a very interesting part of our growth.
Ever wondered about the origins of the NA Fellowship's 'Living Clean - The Journey Continues'? In this episode of myRecoveryCast, Ron H. and Dave F. sit down with the original author of the manuscript that laid the foundation for this pivotal book. Written back in 1983 and submitted to NA World Services, the manuscript took nearly three decades to see the light of day in a published form, and even then, it was quite different from the original draft.
The author, now 83 years old and celebrating 56 years of recovery, shares his personal journey and the significance of 'Living Clean' within the Narcotics Anonymous community. This isn't just a history lesson; it's a heartfelt conversation that dives deep into addiction, recovery, relationships, and the resources that help promote sobriety. Listeners will get an inside look at the challenges and triumphs that shaped the manuscript and its eventual publication in 2012.
The episode offers a rare glimpse into the history and evolution of NA, making it a must-listen for anyone connected to or interested in Narcotics Anonymous. Whether you're in recovery yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and a sense of community that can be both comforting and inspiring.
So, if you're curious about how 'Living Clean' came to be and want to hear from someone who's been on the recovery journey for over half a century, tune in to this engaging and informative episode.
