Ask for phone numbers if you want to, and be prepared to seek out your own personal support system if you get triggered. We encourage you to go to other 12-step meetings to help with addictive and other problems you might have. And now, we will have a brief check-in, for everyone to share whatever current issues, events or feelings affected by our common disease that loom large in our lives right now. Anyone may start. Afterwards the meeting will be open for more general sharing.
Anonymity is the basis of our spiritual principles.
Newcomers are not expected to contribute at this time, but are encouraged to keep coming back. We are together now, and together we can do what we could never do before. No longer are we alone. No longer do we blame ourselves for the abuse that happened to us. No longer are we afraid to reach out for the light, love and healing that belongs to us.
