But the people who are using these resources that I'm willing to contribute to because they don't have it are going to feel like a burden when we keep that stigma up?
How does self-support shape the recovery journey in Narcotics Anonymous? In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of)', hosts Billy and Jason tackle Tradition 7, which emphasizes that every NA group should be fully self-supporting and decline outside contributions. While money often takes center stage in these discussions, Billy and Jason reveal that self-support is about much more than just finances. It's about taking responsibility for the group's well-being and ensuring that its primary purpose remains untainted by external influences.

They also touch on the potential pitfalls of having too much money and how it can lead to complications. This episode offers a comprehensive look at what it truly means to be self-supporting in NA, highlighting the significance of consistency, commitment, and community involvement.
