Good evening gentlemen. This is the regular Tuesday/Sunday night meeting of the Salvation Army Group of Alcoholics Anonymous.
My name is ____________. I am an alcoholic and your present secretary.
We shall now open the meeting with a moment of silence followed by the Serenity Prayer.
The following is the preamble of Alcoholics Anonymous:
"Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institutions; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety."
I have asked __________ to read the Twelve Traditions.
I have asked __________ to read a portion of chapter 5,
"How It Works."I have asked __________ to read from chapter 3,
"More About Alcoholism."We have come to the time of the meeting where we get to meet our newcomers.
