I’m an addict named ____________. I’d like to welcome everyone to the ___________ Zoom meeting of Narcotics Anonymous. Help us open this meeting with a moment of silence for the addict still suffering followed by the serenity prayer.
Zoom provides users with the ability to “raise your hand” and we will use this feature for sharing as well as recognizing clean time. To raise your hand simply go to “Participants”, find your name, and click “Raise Hand”. You can also “lower your hand” this way. Please keep your hands raised to remain in the queue. Please lower your hand to be removed from the queue.
Please note that your microphone should remain muted for the entirety of the meeting unless you are sharing to eliminate background noise. Please avoid unmuting your microphone to recognize members at the start and end of their share. Instead we suggest you acknowledge members using ‘jazz hands’ or via the chat feature.
I will be managing the queue and keeping participants muted.
I have asked someone to read:

| "Some things we must accept, others we can change. The wisdom to know the difference comes with growth in our spiritual program." |
| Basic Text, p. 95 |
| It's relatively easy to accept the things we like--it's the things we don't like that are hard to accept. But remaking the world and everyone in it to suit our tastes would solve nothing. After all, the idea that the world was to blame for all our problems was the attitude that kept us using--and that attitude nearly killed us. In the course of working the steps, we begin to ask ourselves hard questions about the roles we ourselves have played in creating the unacceptable lives we've lived. In most cases, we've found that what needed changing was our own attitude and our own actions, not the people, places, and things around us. In recovery, we pray for wisdom to know the difference between what can and can't be changed. Then, once we see the truth of our situation, we pray for the willingness to change ourselves. |
| Just for Today: Higher Power, grant me the wisdom to know the difference between what can be changed and what I must accept. Please help me gratefully accept the life I've been given. |
The topic for tonights meeting will be __________. The meeting is now open for sharing.
[Meeting Proceeds. Then after meeting time has been reached]
We do not have key tags at this time, but if you would like to raise your hand we will take a moment and recognize your clean time.
Thank you for attending. We will close with the serentiy prayer. After the prayer the meeting will remain open for another thirty minutes.
