This week on the Living Clean Podcast, we continue our walk through the Twelve Steps with one of the most powerful and freeing steps in recovery.Our consistent panel returns — Archer, Pete, and Douglas — and we’re joined by two special guests, Janine E. and Christina T., for an honest discussion on Step Five and what it truly means to let go of secrecy, shame, and the weight we have carried for far too long.We talk about the fear that can come before this step, the courage it takes to be fully honest, and the relief that often follows when we finally share the truth with God, ourselves, and another human being. We also explore trust, vulnerability, humility, and how Step Five helps break the isolation that keeps many of us stuck.This step is not about punishment. It is about freedom, healing, and no longer living alone inside our own mind.If you’ve ever struggled with guilt, fear, or telling the truth about your past, this episode is for you.Do yourself a favor and listen.
Today we head down South to explore the early history of Narcotics Anonymous in New Orleans, Louisiana — a city known for music, resilience, culture, and survival. But underneath the stories of Bourbon Street and Mardi Gras is another powerful story: addicts helping addicts find recovery in a place where many never thought freedom was possible.Before we get started, we want to give a huge shout out to Douglas from the Anonymous Podcast, along with Barb and Paul from the Anonymous Squad. Thank you for helping preserve recovery history and for continuing to carry the message through storytelling, fellowship, and service. We are grateful for the work all of you do.In this episode, we sit down with early New Orleans NA members Kathe and Nancy as they share firsthand memories of the first Narcotics Anonymous meetings in New Orleans. From small beginnings and borrowed meeting spaces to the struggles and miracles of early recovery, these stories help paint a picture of what NA looked like in Louisiana during its formative years.We also round out this episode by featuring excerpts and reflections from Anonymous Podcast interviews with Jerry S. and Iron Bill, two longtime Louisiana members whose experience, strength, and personality left a lasting impact on countless addicts. Though they are no longer with us physically, their voices and stories continue to carry hope.This episode is more than history. It is a reminder that NA grows because recovering addicts show up, open the doors, and keep the message alive for the next suffering addict. The history of New Orleans NA is full of grit, spirituality, humor, and perseverance — and we are honored to help preserve a small part of it.So wherever you are listening from, thank you for joining us on this journey through recovery history.Sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode of the Living Clean Podcast: The History of New Orleans, Louisiana.

This week on The Living Clean Podcast, Mason shares about his trip to the 2026 World Service Conference and his short time experiencing the WSC firsthand.Over the course of three days, he attended portions of the conference, observed discussions and decision-making in action, and got a closer look at how service work happens at a worldwide level inside Narcotics Anonymous. Along the way, he also went on what he calls a “history quest” — exploring NA history, visiting the NA World Services office, and taking in some of the people, stories, and places connected to the Fellowship’s growth over the years.This episode is less of an official report and more of a personal reflection on the experience: the atmosphere of the conference, the passion behind service, the humanity inside the process, and what it felt like to witness pieces of NA history and world services up close.
In this episode of the Living Clean Podcast, Francis sits down with Bob D. to explore the roots of Narcotics Anonymous in St. Louis and the powerful connections that helped carry the message across the country.Bob shares firsthand experiences from the earliest NA meetings in St. Louis, offering a glimpse into what it looked like when the fellowship was just beginning to take hold in the Midwest. He reflects on the influence of Bob B. from San Francisco, whose efforts helped spark the growth of NA in the area and connect St. Louis to the broader fellowship.We also dive into Bob’s experiences attending the 3rd and 4th World Literature Conferences—pivotal moments in NA history where members came together to shape the Basic Text and define how our message would be shared worldwide. Through these stories, we see the passion, struggle, and unity that went into creating NA literature.Finally, this conversation highlights the early formation of Area and Regional service structures, and how trusted servants worked to build a framework that could support growth while staying true to NA’s spiritual principles.This is a powerful look at how NA grew—one meeting, one connection, and one act of service at a time.
This week, we’re doing something a little different to keep our Sunday momentum rolling. Since our Service Day episode dropped earlier in the week, Francis and Mason decided to share a live recording from TACNA40 in Texarkana.In this special episode, Mason S. speaks on the topic of Conscious Contact and shares his personal experience with prayer, meditation, surrender, and building a real relationship with a Higher Power in recovery. Through honesty, humor, and practical experience, he explores what it means to stay spiritually connected one day at a time.Whether you’re new in recovery or have been around for years, this message offers encouragement and insight into how conscious contact can move from an idea into a daily practice.Thank you for continuing to grow with us and for being part of The Living Clean Podcast.
Service is where recovery comes alive.In this special Service Day episode of the Living Clean Podcast, we sit down with Lady D., Dee M., Branwyn B., Francis, and Mason to talk about what service really means beyond positions, beyond titles, and beyond obligation.We get into the heart of it: what service has done for us, how it’s kept us clean, and why giving back is one of the most powerful tools we have in recovery. We talk about the impact of sponsorship, carrying the message, showing up when we don’t feel like it, and how service connects us to something bigger than ourselves.In Narcotics Anonymous, we often say: “The heart of NA beats when two addicts share their recovery.” Service is how we keep that heart beating.Happy Service Day.
Francis, David, Travis, and Amanda return with a new set of Be The Change exercises focused on the 12th Step and practicing recovery principles “in all of our affairs.”In this episode, the group reviews how the spirit of welcoming newcomers began to naturally show up in everyday life — at home, at work, in conversations, and in how we respond to challenges outside of meetings. What started as intentional kindness within the fellowship began to overlap into personal lives, reminding us that the message is carried through how we live.Together, we introduce this next series of exercises designed to help us practice being the change in practical ways — applying spiritual principles consistently, not just inside meetings, but wherever we go.This discussion explores:• living the 12th Step through action• how welcoming others changes us• practicing principles beyond the meeting room• carrying the message through example• building consistency between recovery and daily life• simple ways to Be The Change in relationships, responsibilities, and communityThese exercises are intended to support continued growth, deepen awareness, and strengthen the connection between recovery and everyday living.If you are interested in participating in this next set of exercises, reach out to Francis by text.Recovery is not just something we talk about — it becomes something we live.Be The Change — In All of Our Affairs
