Disruptive and Predatory Behavior

🎙️ The Living Clean Podcast – This Week’s Episode: Disruptive and Predatory Behavior (IDT Workshop)

In this powerful episode, we dive into one of the 2023 World Service Conference Issue Discussion Topics: Disruptive and Predatory Behavior in Narcotics Anonymous. Guided by NA World Services’ workshop format, we walk through real-world examples, collective experiences, and—most importantly—spiritual solutions rooted in the atmosphere of recovery.

This topic gets to the heart of our Fellowship’s ability to carry the message: If members don’t feel safe, they won’t stay. Together, we explore how to build safer, more inclusive, and spiritually grounded recovery spaces. From challenging behaviors to group-level action steps, we ask the hard questions—and offer practical, principled responses.

🛠️ In this episode, we covered:

• What contributes to (or damages) an atmosphere of recovery

• How predatory and disruptive behaviors show up in our meetings—both in person and virtually

• Tools, solutions, and real-life strategies groups are using to address these behaviors

• How we can protect the vulnerable without violating traditions or resorting to control
