Meeting Script
Opening (2-3 minutes)
Let's start with a brief moment of stillness to center ourselves, and then the CoDA Opening Prayer:
In the spirit of love and truth, we ask our Higher Power to guide us as we share our experience, strength and hope.
We open our hearts to the light of wisdom, the warmth of love, and the joy of acceptance.
Check-in & Icebreaker
Let's check in:
Let's each take 2-3 minutes to share how we're feeling this morning.
((facilitator shares briefly, then invites others to go next))
Topic/Question
Today we're exploring
Q3 - Do you have a “Recovery Toolbox?" Let's fill it with tools to help you cope, tools to shift your thinking and reactions thus preventing you from acting out bottom-line behaviors in the future. As you become more accountable for your behaviors and actively work to change them, your fear and shame subside. What recovery tools have you collected so far? (i.e.: HALT, the Power of Five, "Let Go & Let God", & Positive Affirmations, etc.) What other recovery tools would you like to put in it? Discuss.
Wrapping Up (3-5 minutes)
Wrapping Up:
- Avery is leading our meeting next week.
Let's close with the CoDA prayer:
We thank our Higher Power for all that we have received from the meeting.
As we close, may we take with us the wisdom, love, acceptance, and the hope of recovery.
And together, the Serenity Prayer:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.
Grant me patience with the changes that take time
Appreciation of all that I have
Tolerance of those with different struggles
And the strength to get up and try again
One day at a time.
