Sponsorship Day!
In this special Sponsorship Day episode, we invited a full panel made up of our own sponsees — and even some of their sponsees — to dive deep into the heart of sponsorship in Narcotics Anonymous.Together, we explore what sponsorship really looks like, how the relationship is built, what it means to work the steps with a sponsor, the benefits that come from accountability and guidance, and how the trust formed in sponsorship carries over into every other relationship in recovery.This episode is packed with experience, insight, and real stories from people living this principle every day. We hope you enjoy it — and that it reminds you of the power of connection in recovery.

A Conversation with Pete and George
This week on The Living Clean Podcast, we’re bringing you something a little different — and completely unplanned. Francis sat down with Pete and George from the Bristol Literature Committee to talk about their experiences at the Third World Literature Conference, a pivotal event in the history of the Basic Text. Both of them were deeply involved in putting that conference together and helping shape the chapters that would eventually define our fellowship’s foundational book.What started as a simple historical discussion quickly evolved into a heartfelt, wide-ranging conversation. The topics naturally expanded into Step Working Guides, Living Clean, sponsorship, and the process of working the Steps — both personally and with others.It became one of those organic moments that capture the true spirit of recovery: connection, insight, and shared experience. We hadn’t planned to release it, but it turned out too good not to share — so here it is, a bonus episode we hope you’ll really enjoy.
