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.
Personal Check-in
Let's check in:
Let's each take 2-3 minutes to share how we are personally feeling this morning.
((facilitator shares briefly, then invites others to go next))
Topic/Question(s)
Today's Question(s):
Q30 - Read the last three paragraphs of Step Four on page 49 beginning with "When we look...".
Focus on the last paragraph. What is the definition of the word “humility?” It is a guiding
spiritual principle of our recovery. How is humility:
o The opposite of judging & criticizing?
o The opposite of better than & less than roles?
o The opposite of rightness & wrongness attitudes?
o The opposite of blame & shame?
o The opposite of control & manipulation & making demands?
How does humility relate to equality? Write about this in your journal. 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.
