SERVICE SCHEDULE- https://sites.google.com/view/serviceschedule/home
Hello, my name is _________________ and I am a grateful recovered alcoholic. Welcome to the open meeting of the KISS THE SKY group of Alcoholics Anonymous.
This group meets 7 nights per week from 9pm eastern time 'til everyone shares, with a parking lot to follow.
If you would like to make Kiss The Sky your Home group just introduce yourself and let us know- you are a home group member if you say you are. Welcome.
The message of this home group is to celebrate life with our experience in the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
After a moment of silence, we will open the meeting with the Serenity Prayer.
“God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
KissTheSky Preamble
We gather for one reason: because alcohol defeated us, and together we’ve found a solution in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
The miracle of AA isn’t found in willpower, opinions, or personalities. It is found in a simple spiritual way of living that transforms our lives one day at a time.
A.A. progress can be measured in terms of two words: humility and responsibility.
Humility is the victory over the illusion that we can recover alone. Responsibility means practicing these principles and carrying hope to the suffering alcoholic.
Everything we do in our group flows from this understanding.
This is why freedom from alcohol, through the teaching and practice of A.A.’s Twelve Steps, is the sole purpose of this group.
May all we share tonight point us toward that purpose, deepen our humility, and prepare us to carry this life-saving message to the next alcoholic who seeks our help.
Will someone please read the first paragraph of the foreword to the first edition of the big book as it is written on page xiii?
“WE, OF Alcoholics Anonymous, are more than one hundred men and women who have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body. To show other alcoholics precisely how we have recovered is the main purpose of this book. For them, we hope these pages will prove so convincing that no further authentication will be necessary. We think this account of our experiences will help everyone to better understand the alcoholic. Many do not comprehend that the alcoholic is a very sick person. And besides, we are sure that our way of living has its advantages for all."
Will someone read How it Works starting on page 58 of the big book?

AA Declaration of Unity
This we owe to AA’s future: to place our common welfare first; to keep our fellowship united. For on AA unity depend our lives, and the lives of those to come.
Look To this Day
Look to this day:
For it is life, the very life of life.
In its brief course
Lie all the verities and realities of your existence.
The bliss of growth,
The glory of action,
The splendour of achievement
Are but experiences of time.
For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision;
And today well-lived, makes
Yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day;
Such is the salutation to the ever-new dawn!
Do it Anyway Prayer
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough.
Give the best you've got anyway.
You see,
in the final analysis it is between you and your God ;
it was never between you and them anyway.
Set Aside Prayer
God, today help me set aside everything I think I know about You, everything I think I know about myself, everything I think I know about others, and everything I think I know about my own recovery so I may have an open mind and a new experience with all these things. Please help me see the truth.
remember the trees – breath prayer
Breathe in your inherent belovedness.
Breathe out the lure of toxic cycles.
Breathe in love that makes your heart soft.
Breathe out any anger that is being misdirected.
Breathe in acceptance that all cannot be immediately solved.
Breathe out the need to control.
Breathe in the wisdom of ancestors who labored for collective love and justice.
Breathe out the temptation towards the superficial.
Breathe in a breath of humility.
Breathe out all that makes you shrink.
And then remember the trees.
Their giving and receiving of breath.
See them holding so much for us.
Offer a confession. And a prayer of gratitude.
And let your roots sink deep into the soil of god.
by M Jade Kaiser
THE 9th STEP PROMISES- pages 83-84 of the Big Book
If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will be amazed before we are halfway through.
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.
No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.
That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.
Self-seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among ussometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.
Tenth Step Promises- pages 84-85 of the Big Book
And we have ceased fighting anything or anyone—even alcohol. For by this time sanity will have returned. We will seldom be interested in liquor. If tempted, we recoil from it as from a hot flame. We react sanely and normally, and we will find that this has happened automatically. We will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given us without any thought or effort on our part. It just comes! That is the miracle of it. We are not fighting it, neither are we avoiding temptation. We feel as though we had been placed in a position of neutrality—safe and protected. We have not even sworn off. Instead, the problem has been removed. It does not exist for us. We are neither cocky nor are we afraid. That is our experience. That is how we react so long as we keep in fit spiritual condition.
Responsibility Statement
I am responsible, when anyone, anywhere, reaches out for help,
I want the hand of AA always to be there, and for that
I am responsible.
Serenity Prayer:
Please join me in a moment of silence before joining in the Serenity Prayer.
“God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
11th Step Prayer/ Prayer of St. Francis
“Lord, make me a channel of thy peace—that where there is hatred, I may bring love—that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness—that where there is discord, I may bring harmony—that where there is error, I may bring truth—that where there is doubt, I may bring faith—that where there is despair, I may bring hope—that where there are shadows, I may bring light—that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted—to understand, than to be understood—to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen.”
Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from the evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
