Living Clean: The Journey Continues

This recovery book comes from members of Narcotics Anonymous, people who once struggled with addiction and now live without drugs, counting their sobriety in days, months, years and decades. It serves two purposes: welcoming newcomers who are just starting out, and reminding longtime members of the commitment that keeps them going. Rather than a single author's story, it offers a picture of the fellowship as it stands today, showing how members support one another in meeting everyday challenges while staying clean and sober.
