Meeting format JFT/SPAD

Leader:

Before the meeting begins select someone to read todays text from the book.

Hello, my name is______, and I am an addict. Welcome to this Ski & Recovery meeting of the NA Outdoor Group of Narcotics Anonymous. I’d like to open this meeting with a moment of silence for the addict who still suffers.(15 to 20 seconds)

We like to extend a special welcome to newcomers. If anyone here is attending their first NA meeting, would you care to introduce yourself? We ask this not to embarrass you, but to get to know you better.

This is an “open” Narcotics Anonymous meeting. We’d like to welcome any nonaddict visitors and thank you for your interest in Narcotics Anonymous. We ask that you respect the primary purpose of this meeting, which is to provide a place where addicts can share their recovery with one another.

For the protection of our group as well as the meeting facility, we ask that you have no drugs or paraphernalia on your person at the meeting. If you have any now, please leave, dispose of them, and return as quickly as possible.

Morning meeting is Just For Today and Lunch meeting is SPAD

This is a_______theme meeting and______will read todays text from the book.

The Meeting is now open for sharing.

Leader:

About ten minutes before the meeting is scheduled to close, announce:

That’s all the time we have. I’d like to thank you for attending.

The helmet being passed around is one way of practicing our Seventh Tradition, which says, “Every NA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.” The money we collect pays for, rent, literature, and refreshments, it also helps carry the NA message of recovery in our area and around the world.

After the basket has come back around:

Again, thanks for coming tonight. Would all those who care to, join in a circle to close with the the Serenity Prayer followed by: "Keep coming back. It works"
