Introduction
Welcome to the Wednesday night – mid-week, Tay Ho, AA meeting
My name is ________ and I’m an alcoholic.
Reminder to please silence your phone.
Let us open the meeting with a moment of silence to remember why we are here.
Preamble
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 institution; 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.
Anonymity and Confidentiality are vital principles of any Twelve Step Recovery group. Everything that’s said in the group meeting, and member to member, is private. All that is spoken is to be respected with strictest confidence. In this way we are truly freed and trusting to say what is in our hearts and minds.
We keep our shares free of crosstalk, which means that we do not interrupt any person while they are sharing, and we do not respond directly to another person’s share.
Please be mindful of the time spent sharing, so that as many people as possible will have the opportunity to share.

And the wisdom to know the difference.”
