Script & Posting Timeline
Post items in RED text and change chat settings 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.
Before the meeting starts:
→ Request Co-Host Privileges
Upon arrival, please ask the meeting Host to make you a Co-Host so you can share screen and post in the chat as needed.
1. Posting Timeframe: 8:27 AM / 11:57 AM / 7:27 PM (ET)
→ Share the Daily Reflection in Chat
Use this link to access the current day’s reflection: AA Daily Reflection
Post both the daily reflection link and reflection paragraphs into the chat.
Note:
If the content exceeds the chat limit, split it into two messages.
Posting the reflection is optional, but it's become a meaningful NAAG tradition that offers participants a moment of quiet reading before the meeting begins.
2. Posting Timeframe: 8:28 AM / 11:58 AM / 7:28 PM (ET)
→ Screen share “Two Minutes of Zen” Image
→ Download and prepare the “2 Minutes of Zen” image thumbnail in advance.
Link: 2 Min Of Zen Thumbnail
Begin screen-sharing the image at this time and keep it displayed for the full two minutes prior to the start of the meeting.
Stop screen sharing at the meeting start time.
Note: This quiet period sets a calming tone, with all participants muted, offering a chance to center themselves before the opening.
3. Posting Timeframe: 8:30 AM / 12:00 PM / 7:30 PM (ET)
→ Post the website info as soon as the host says “Good morning/afternoon/evening…”

Note: The greeter uses this to read the preamble.
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.

10. Posting Timeframe: 9:30 AM / 1:00 PM / 8:30 PM (ET)
→ Post the NCL information when the meeting concludes…
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.
