  • 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.

Just for Today - April 16th, 2026 with Sheryl H. - "Acting as if"
Q: What does it look like to act as if in everyday life, beyond just church or religious language?
It means showing up for meetings, doing footwork, sustaining habits like prayer and service, and gradually aligning inner thoughts with outward behaviors to build momentum and healthier thinking.
Just for Today - April 16th, 2026 with Sheryl H. - "Acting as if"
Q: Sheryl, how has acting as if shaped your approach to recovery and your view of a higher power?
Sheryl describes shifting from doubt to practical faith by engaging in daily actions, trusting the process, and letting suggestions from her sponsor guide her, even when belief is not fully formed.
Just for Today - April 21st, 2026 with Sharon L. - Fear
Q: How do you work through fear in your recovery and parenting?
Sharon explains using faith, keeping focus on being of service, and leaning into courage as practical tools to move through fear; she notes that accepting imperfection and relying on support from family and a higher power helps her manage parenting stress and maintain sobriety.
Just for Today - April 21st, 2026 with Sharon L. - Fear
Q: What do you think about your fears and how they show up in daily life?

Just for Today - April 9th, 2026 with Cindy W. - Acting out
Q: What did you think about the reader acting out and how it relates to Step One?
