“90 in 90” is the practice of going to an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting every day for 90 days in a row. People new to sobriety require a lot of support. They may not feel physically or emotionally stable or feel they have the resources they need to manage days when their sobriety feels fragile.
In most groups, the chairperson or another officer calls the business meeting, which ordinarily is held on a monthly or quarterly basis. While some groups may occasionally permit nonmembers to attend, the group may request that only home group members participate or vote.
AS CHAIRPERSON, PLEASE COME PREPARED WITH A TOPIC, OR CHOOSE ONE FROM A.A. CONFERENCE APPROVED LITERATURE. REQUEST EVERYONE LIMIT THEIR SHARING TO 3-5 MINUTES SO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE MAY PARTICIPATE. Remind people to share THEIR experience, strength, and hope.
Assign a General Service Representative to attend Intergroup meetings. Let the intergroup know of your proposed timing, venue, and type of group (open/closed). Place information in your local community (local media, notice-boards in shops, surgeries, libraries etc.) so they know the new AA group exists.
Most AA meetings follow this format: AA Preamble. Moment of silence. Serenity Prayer. Newcomers Intro. “How It Works” from the AA Big Book. Meeting sharing and discussions. 7th Tradition Contribution. Closing Prayer.
And, in order to be an “official” AA group – often required by the Intergroups before your meeting is listed – you can fill out the New Group Form (3rd page) and thereby be registered with the AA General Service Office (GSO).
Let us open the meeting with a moment of silence to do with as you wish followed by 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.
Welcome to a Round Robin meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. My name is JJ and I am an alcoholic. Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other, that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
Because the Twelve Steps are the foundation of personal recovery in A.A., many groups devote one or more meetings a week to the study of each Step in rotation; some discuss two or three Steps at a time. These same formats may be applied to group meetings on the Big Book or the Twelve Traditions.
There are a variety of formats for A.A. meetings and each meeting takes on the feel of their local area. At most meetings you will hear members talk about what drinking did to them and to those around them. Most also share what actions they took to stop drinking and how they are living their lives today.
