Episode: 27: Clarifying the Clarity Statement: Are You an Addict and Alcoholic? (Sort Of)
Description: Narcotics Anonymous has a clarity statement that asks people not to identify as "addicts and alcoholics" and believes to mention being "clean and sober" could cause confusion and blur the message of the NA program. Â Does language matter? Â Is one way of referring to yourself truly harmful? Â We explore how much this matters, if people from one program can share in another program, and debate if the clarity statement should be read in the beginning of meetings.
