12-Step Study Meeting Format

Hello and welcome to "Conquering Co-Dependency," a Christ-centered 12 step study.   My name is _____________, moderator for tonight's meeting.  We will open our meeting with  _______ leading us in The Serenity Prayer. 


PRAYER: 
God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change...
the courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it.
Trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to Your will.
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
​and supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.   
     ​
At this Step Study, we will be working through the book, "Conquering Co-Dependency" by Pat Springle.  This is a serious step study that will require homework in between meetings.  If you come unprepared, please be considerate of those who came prepared by simply listening.  The meeting will be open until the end of the first step.  At that point, we won't be expecting new members, however, the ones who have already been in attendance can come back if they leave for any reason.   

Here are the guidelines to sharing:
  
Everyone is welcomed to share their experience, strength and hope, however, we ask that you try to limit your shares to 2 minutes in order to give others an opportunity to share.
Please wrap up your thoughts when you hear the timer,_________, say, "time."  If the room is quiet, please allow some moments of silence before sharing a second time.
     
​We refrain from mentioning specific foods by name, as it could trigger food thoughts in others, and there is no cross-talk, which is commenting on another person's share (positive or negative) or giving advice.  Using "for me" statements enables everyone to feel safe and protected in the rooms of Full of Faith.
