& Posting Timeline
→ POST ITEMS IN RED TEXT and CHANGE CHAT CONTROLS, as indicated.
This timeline serves as a recommended guide to help ensure that key information is shared consistently across all 21 Never Alone Again Group meetings held each week. While the timing and content help meetings run smoothly and inclusively, the posting timeline (but not the script itself) is flexible—posters should adapt the timeline as needed to best support the group and meeting format.

This quiet period sets a calming tone, offering a chance to center themselves before the opening with all muted.

AA Preamble
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people 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 A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. 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.

[???] has volunteered to read the 9th Step Promises today. Thanks, [???].
Ninth Step Promises
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 us; sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.

These first 15 minutes are devoted to answering questions for the newcomer. Newcomers (anyone with under a year of sobriety) are encouraged to speak up to ask any questions you may have about the A.A. program or to just claim your seat and say hello.
In order to not overwhelm any newcomers, please allow the Newcomer Liaison to field the questions during this time. If you’d like to offer helpful feedback as well, please feel free to post it in the chat or wait until they open the room up for general discussion and conversation.
