About this listen
This episode explores one of the current Issue Discussion Topics (IDTs) selected by the Fellowship: Gender Neutral and Inclusive Language in NA Literature.
The conversation centers around how the language in NA literature impacts identification, inclusion, and the ability to carry the message to all addicts. The episode includes background from the 2023 World Service Conference, real member experiences, and examples of how NA literature has evolved over time—such as changes in the Basic Text and the inclusive language used in Living Clean.
Listeners are invited to reflect on questions like: What would be the effect if the literature were to change—or not change? How does language affect how welcome someone feels in recovery?
This isn’t about making decisions—it’s about having an open, respectful dialogue rooted in unity and understanding. Tune in for a thoughtful breakdown of a timely and important topic in our Fellowship.
