Living Clean
Living Clean is a Canadian television program, and Canada's only live interactive weekly talk show designed to assist individuals suffering with addiction and/or mental illnesses. According to the show's website,[1] it "reaches out and offers up choices and encouragement to the addict and their families through sharing our experience, strength and hope."
Host Glenn Allan
