Mason and Francis are back with a reflection on their experience at Out of the Darkness Into the Light 28, held February 4–9, 2026 at the DoubleTree Hotel in Decatur, Alabama. In this episode, they share their personal takeaways from the convention, the fellowship, and the spirit of recovery that filled the event.
Francis offers his perspective coming from Northern California to the South for the second time, comparing and contrasting this year’s experience with his first visit. Mason reflects on what it meant to serve as Chair of the convention—an honor that carried both responsibility and deep gratitude—and how that role shaped his experience of the week.
Beyond the convention itself, they also dive into what’s been happening in their lives outside of NA, and how those experiences intersect with the themes of the event. It’s an honest, heartfelt, and uplifting conversation about service, connection, and recovery in action.
We hope you enjoy listening as much as they enjoyed sharing it.
