About:
GoToMeeting will start 10 minutes before scheduled meeting time and all members may share with each other at that time, just like when you go to a regular meeting.
At the scheduled meeting time, microphones will be muted for all attendees so that the chairperson may open the meeting.
You may join the GoToMeeting using your computer, smart phone, tablet or just by dialing in on the phone.
To maintain anonymity we suggest that you only enter your first name and initial of your last name and do not enter your email address.
During the meeting the chat feature will be enabled and attendees at the meeting may request to share that way.
You have the option of using the camera on your device to show yourself to other members in attendance or not to do so.
This is a closed meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, which means you need to have a desire to stop drinking if you wish to attend.
12th Tradition Reminder - Anonymity: Who you see here, what you hear here, when you leave here let it stay here.

Meeting Leader: How to open meeting

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.

This is for privacy purposes.
This is a closed meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, which means you need to have a desire to stop drinking if you wish to attend.
The 12th tradition of AA is about anonymity, so please who you see here, what you hear here, be certain it stays here.
The 7th tradition of AA states that every AA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions. In that regard, contributions to this group can be made by clicking on the Basket link (http://aameetingonline.com/oia.htm#Basket).
A few short business announcements; if you're sober 90 days or more and are interested in being of service running a meeting on a specific day of the week at a specific time for a short term commitment of one month or a traditional commitment of 3-6 months or attending the monthly business meeting then please email bill@aameetingonline.com and I will post that information for everyone in the Chat Box also.
If you are new here, or new to AA then you are invited to stick around for the "Meeting After the Meeting" there’s a lot of good sobriety in the room and maybe you can get some phone numbers or ask someone about being a sponsor but most importantly please keep coming back.
To reduce background noise in the meeting please keep your microphone muted unless you are talking.
If you are calling in on a phone please use *6 to mute and unmute yourself.
If you need an attendance verification form you may download a PDF of that from the AA Meeting Online website, you can fill that out on your own and that is on the honor system.
Please be considerate of others wanting to share in this meeting and share briefly.
We ask that you please refrain from Cross Talking. Cross talk is directly addressing and/or giving advice to another person in reference to their share and this also applies to messaging and conversations in the Chat Box. If you’re new, please check out the chat feature at the top or bottom of your screen, depending on your device.
Before we begin the meeting I would like to ask if there is anyone today celebrating an anniversary, milestone or anyone who would like to share their number of days in sobriety with the room, then please go ahead and unmute your microphone and introduce yourself at this time.
Thank you
If there is anyone in the meeting that's sober 90 days or more and would like to be the opening speaker and share your experience, strength and hope with us for about 10 minutes, then please do so now, otherwise I'll go ahead and open things up.
After opening speaker is done sharing, please ask if anyone would like to share
About 5 minutes before the meeting is over, please ask if anyone that's new would like to share and mention the meeting after the meeting again and if not continue on normally.
At this time please also mention again that there is a meeting after the meeting.
After everyone that wants to share has shared, please ask "For those who would like to join me let's close 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 change and the wisdom to know the difference.
