Let us open the meeting with a moment of silence to do with as you wish followed by the Serenity Prayer: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.

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 recov- er from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.
The AA/NA Meeting Attendance Sheet consists of several essential fields. Name: The name of the person attending the meeting. Date: The date when the meeting is held. Group Name: The name of the AA or NA group. Signature: Signature of attendees to validate their presence.
The meeting format is to read a selection from both books for discussion. Last Sunday of the month is a Speaker Meeting. First Sunday of the month is an Open Meeting. Closed meetings are for A.A. members only, or for those who have a drinking problem and “have a desire to stop drinking.”
Many meetings begin with a reading from the Big Book — frequently a portion of Chapter 5 (“How It Works”) or Chapter 3 (“More About Alcoholism”). A statement about anonymity in A.A. as a valuable privacy principle for new and longtime members might be read.
Suggested Meeting Format Leader: My name is and I am the leader of tonight's (today's) meeting. Have other members introduce themselves by first name only in the spirit of anonymity, as they would at a meet- ing. Mention that Al-Anon is a spiritual rather than religious pro- gram, and that we are not professionals.
Although no one will ever pressure you to speak, it is good to introduce yourself to the group. You may simply say, “Hi, I am ___ and I am an alcoholic.” If you are uncomfortable admitting to your alcoholism you may simply give your name. Note that only your first name is required due to the anonymity of AA.

Group business meet- ings are meant to give members an opportunity to discuss subjects of importance to the group. Group conscience can be thought of in much the same way as personal conscience. Group conscience reflects a collective awareness of, understanding of, and surrender to spiritual principles.
