Welcome to the Sunrise Serenity Online Group of Alcoholics Anonymous. My name is _____, and I am an alcoholic.
Please keep your mic muted while we open the meeting with the Serenity Prayer:
God, grant me
the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know the difference.
AA Preamble: Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
