Our group purpose is to assist
ourselves and other alcoholics in achieving, maintaining and strengthening our recovery
from alcoholism by increasing our understanding of and commitment to the spiritual
principles of our Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, and Twelve Concepts.
This is an open meeting
of Alcoholics Anonymous and, while non-alcoholics and those who suffer from addiction
to drugs other than alcohol are welcome, we believe it is vital to our sustained recovery
that we keep a sharp focus on our recovery from alcoholism.
Accordingly, our group discussions
concern precisely how the AA Program, as contained in our basic text, Alcoholics Anonymous,
and other Conference-approved literature, helps us achieve and maintain contented sobriety
and a life of usefulness to others. If you would like to discuss a different topic or have
a problem you would like to discuss confidentially, please see one of our members after the
meeting. We ask that during the meeting everyone keep their comments reasonably
brief so that others may also participate.
If you are new to AA or our Group,
and would like to join us in achieving lasting freedom from the obsession to drink;
learn a design for living that really works; and have peace of mind; we suggest that you
not leave here tonight without some of our members’ telephone numbers. All members who are
willing to be sponsors please raise their hands.
