This week on The Living Clean Podcast, we welcome back Kevin, a participant in our Living Clean book study, to take a deeper dive into his remarkable story of recovery. Kevin shares his honest and raw journey, reflecting on the cycles of getting clean briefly, facing consequences, and returning to active addiction—until he reached a point of complete surrender.

We explore the pivotal moment when Kevin got clean but was faced with serving a prison sentence, the challenges of staying clean during incarceration, and the extraordinary legal miracle that led to his freedom. Kevin also opens up about his ongoing journey in Narcotics Anonymous, sharing insights on the growth and challenges he has faced along the way.

Join us for a powerful and inspiring episode that highlights resilience, surrender, and the transformative power of recovery.

In this episode of The Living Clean Podcast, we continue our in-depth study of Living Clean: The Journey Continues. Wrapping up the final three paragraphs in the “Spirituality in Action” section of Chapter 3, we prepare to dive into the “Conscious Contact” section.

We’re honored to welcome three special guests: Richard H., Gil P., and Tracy W. During the pandemic, Richard H. founded a unique meeting called Conscious Contact, which grew rapidly, drawing over 5,000 members on some days. Gil P. and Tracy W. joined him in service, helping this meditation-based meeting flourish. With a five-minute meditation to begin, this meeting has continued post-pandemic and still gathers hundreds of participants daily.

In the second half of this episode, we transition to “Conscious Contact” by exploring the story behind this extraordinary meeting. Tune in to learn how it all began and continues to inspire the recovery community.

Podcast Title: The Lost Literature Conference - MSRSC 1981

Episode Description:

In partnership with preservingthemessage.org, this episode explores the transformative Mid-South Regional Service Conference of 1981 in Memphis, Tennessee. Initially conceived as a standard Regional Service Conference, it evolved into a powerful literature conference with a mission that changed the course of Narcotics Anonymous history.

We discuss the incredible dedication of over eighty members who represented nineteen states and poured their hearts into the labor of love that was the Basic Text. Despite exhaustion and the challenge of the work, many participants extended their stay to support the growth of the fellowship, driven by an unwavering commitment to service.

The episode sheds light on the monumental tasks accomplished, including the approval and initial printing of the Basic Text, ensuring that every member who wanted a copy would have access to it. We also delve into the pivotal decisions made by the W.S.C. Policy Sub-Committee, which convened for the first time outside California to work on revising the Service Manual, demonstrating a remarkable effort to support NA’s expanding global fellowship.

Join us as we honor the perseverance and spiritual growth embodied by this conference and celebrate the enduring message of recovery. This collaborative episode, enriched with insights from preservingthemessage.org, reflects on the profound impact of this historic event and the spirit of progress that continues to guide NA today.
