Secretary Guideline For On Awakening

Prior to the Meeting Morning

The format of our meeting is for the lead to start with a short reading related to recovery from alcoholism - usually, one minute or less. It is always appreciated if you can post your reading in the chat. After reading it you can share about it for up to four minutes. We have a timer who will let you know when time is up. After that, you pick a format (tag/call on people/leave it open to volunteers) and then lead us out at the end of the meeting with a prayer or affirmation of your choosing. (When in doubt, the Serenity prayer always works). Thank you for your service.

Secretary's instructions to Leader.

  1. Select a reading related to recovery from alcoholism
