Episode Details

Every piece of NA history begins with someone who cared enough to preserve it.

In this episode, Francis sits down with members of the committee behind As the Journey Began, the Arizona Narcotics Anonymous history book. Together, they share the inspiring story of how a dedicated group of trusted servants spent years collecting memories, interviewing members, preserving photographs, verifying facts, and assembling the rich history of Narcotics Anonymous in Arizona.

The conversation explores the challenges and rewards of documenting a fellowship built on anonymity, the importance of preserving our collective experience for future generations, and the countless volunteers whose contributions made this remarkable project possible.

Whether you're passionate about NA history, involved in service, or simply curious about how fellowship history is preserved, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most significant regional history projects in Narcotics Anonymous.

Join us for an engaging discussion about fellowship, perseverance, and why remembering where we've been helps guide where we're going.

"We don't preserve history to live in the past—we preserve it so the message of recovery continues to inspire those who have yet to arrive."
