Revising IP 21 Staying Clean in Isolation
Today and every day, addicts are staying clean in ordinary and extraordinary circumstances. Our Basic Text reminds us that “there is no model of the recovering addict,” and our experience has shown that we can stay clean and recover from the disease of addiction “no matter what.”
The work on this project complete. You can find the revised IP online and in the webstore.
During the first half of 2024 we reached out to members who identified as “interested in geographic/physical isolation in recovery” through the Focus Group Volunteer form and held multiple focus group sessions to help direct the project. The input from these sessions, along with the previous survey results, guided our work for a draft revision of the IP. That draft went out for review and input in the first part of 2025, and the draft was revised accordingly. The approval draft was published in the 2026 Conference Agenda Report, and was unanimously approved at the 2026 WSC.
