    I am writing this before listening to anything on this podcast. I just realized who Doug was. I am the young lady fresh out of detox. I have a sponsor and have been going to meetings and jumping right in the middle of NA. I have had recovery before however the desperation I have now this bottom is completely different. Thankyou for having this podcast available to me. I appreciate you!!!!

  • I love it

    So, I am writing this before listening to any episodes. Which, I know, is odd. However, my dad just recorded an episode for this podcast (at the time I am writing this the episode has not yet been updated), and I would like to talk about what he thought of it. He said the people were nice, he got to talk about his story, and it was a pretty good time overall. I’m definitely going to tune in to this podcast whenever I can.

    Douglas, man this is what I’ve needed to get me to the next level. Since being put onto the podcast, my recovery has taken off! I hope someday to connect with you about it all, and maybe even be on the show in some capacity. Using the technology at our fingertips to further spread the message of NA makes sense and is changing lives. Thank you! I’m grateful to those that led me here and for all you do. I hope you’re having an amazing day. I love you, brother. God bless

  • Good concept, can use more principles

    Great concept but, I noticed there are a lot of newcomers on this (not to say they are sharing or helping me) but, would love to see more addicts with more clean time and ESH. I also wonder if the host has worked the traditions and concepts.
