Meeting Chairing - NAchat.live

Introduce yourself:

Hi My name is ___ and I am an ____

Start meeting:

.m 1
<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#1/14): We'd like to open this meeting with a moment of silence for the addict who still suffers, followed by the WE version of the Serenity Prayer.

.m 2
<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#2/14): God, grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

.m 3
<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#3/14): We like to extend a special welcome to newcomers because the newcomer is the most important person at ANY meeting!  Is anyone here is attending their first NA meeting, or who is new to this chat room?

.m 4
<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#4/14): Is anyone here who is returning from a relapse or just plain needs a hug?

.m 5
<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#5/14): We love to celebrate clean time in N.A! Is anybody celebrating 24 hours, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 6 months, 9 months, one year, 18 months or multiple years that we can celebrate here together?

.m 6
<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#6/14): I will now post the readings for this meeting. If they are posted too quickly for you, feel free to scroll back and read them at your own pace.  Note that during readings and while people are sharing, the room is moderated (muted). You will not be able to type into the chat room at that time.

<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#7/14): In respect to our Tradition of anonymity, we ask that who you see here and what you hear here, please keep it in your hearts.

.m 8
<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#8/14): Please show respect for people when they are sharing.  Feeling that we are 'being heard' may sometimes be what helps us the most when we are struggling.  Please listen to others in the same way you would like them to listen to you.

.m 9
<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#9/14): We would like to give everyone a chance to be heard in this meeting.  Please be mindful of the number of addicts attending the meeting, limiting your share when necessary so that everyone can be heard.

<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#10/14): Would someone like to suggest a topic for the meeting, or want/need to share about something in particular tonight?

.m 11
<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#11/14): If you would like to share please indicate by typing a ! so the chairperson can give you the floor and when you are done sharing, please indicate by typing:  !Done

.m 12
<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#12/14): Please don't be shy, speed and accuracy in typing doesn't count here. Who would like to share first?

.m 13
<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#13/14): Who would like to share next?

.m 14
<< MEETING IN PROGRESS >> (#14/14): A BURNING DESIRE is a need or want to use and if anyone is feeling this, we invite you to step up and share about it at this time, because if we talk about it we may be able to save our lives.  Does anyone have a burning desire to share?
