• Behind the Walls – The Hole in the Wall Group

  In this powerful episode, we sit down with members of the Hole in the Wall Group of Narcotics Anonymous—some of whom found recovery while incarcerated at Oregon State Penitentiary and now carry the message back inside from the outside. Also joining us are the group’s former club president, their current outside GSR, and Chris B., a contributor to the blog “NA-supported Recovery Behind the Walls.”Together, we explore the legacy of a group that has been transforming lives since 1988. From its roots as an inmate-led NA meeting to becoming a cornerstone of recovery behind the walls, the Hole in the Wall Group has been a beacon of hope for decades. These members share their stories of freedom, service, and continued commitment to carrying the message where it’s needed most.This episode is a tribute to the power of recovery, the impact of service, and the spiritual awakening that can happen—even in the darkest places.⸻Want to support or stay connected with the Hole in the Wall Group?

• A Spontaneous Conversation

  This bonus episode came out of nowhere—in the best way possible. It started with a phone call between me and Francis, just bouncing around ideas for future episodes. Somewhere in the mix, one of us said, “Let’s just do a podcast right now.” No plan, no prep—just hit record and go.What followed was a beautiful, wide-open conversation. We were joined by Becki N, Staci K, RJ S, Dee M, Ron H, and Peter O, and together we explored everything from what’s going on in our lives and recovery communities, to the highs and lows of change, the beauty of our worldwide fellowship, family, and so much more.It was honest, real, and full of heart—exactly what recovery conversations often are when we just show up and speak from the soul. We hope you enjoy this spontaneous conversation as much as we did.

Topics include:Making service more attractive and accessibleAddressing structural barriers in local serviceMentorship, planning, and scanning in actionReal stories and real solutions from members in the trenchesThis isn’t just theory—it’s a practical guide to refreshing our commitment to carrying the message.
