Meeting Script
Opening (2-3 minutes)
Good morning everyone! My name is Melanie, I'm a codependent, and I will be facilitating today's meeting.
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:
Describe a relationship in your life that supports your personal growth and well-being.
((facilitator shares briefly, then invites others to go next))
Topic/Question
Today we're exploring
Question 30 -
Reflect on your own personal surrender.
Discuss and share at meetings your experience, strength, and hope from doing these Steps.
Celebrate that you have come this far! Are you willing to commit to begin Step Four?
From now on, while you keep progressing with Steps Four through Nine, practice Steps One, Two, and Three every day. Furthermore, practice Steps Ten, Eleven, and Twelve to the best of your ability.
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.
