(Stop screensharing)

Welcome, Everyone!

If this is your first visit to this meeting, we would appreciate you introducing yourself by your First name and the first letter of your last name, where you are from, and a bit about what brought you here today. Newcomers are welcome to share as much or as little about themselves as they like; you are also encouraged to participate in the meeting as much as you may be comfortable.

7th Tradition

According to the self-supporting 7th tradition of SAA, you can also find on the website at MondayMen.org, options for participating in the financial obligations of our group, such as our subscriptions for Zoom, the website, and periodic contributions to our state and/or national SAA groups whenever we have surplus funds. When our funds are short, some of our regular members have been generous in making up the difference.

​

​Birthdays
In this program, we take time to recognize those who have reached particular milestones of consecutive clean time. Is there anyone here who is marking a milestone of sobriety this week in days, weeks, months, or years?

TOPIC DISCUSSION

Participation in our discussion time is open to everyone.

In this meeting, we use the word "I" instead of "you" when sharing about recovery.

• We address our sharing to the whole group, not to one or more individuals.

• We avoid mentioning specific names or places associated with our acting out behavior.

• In order to provide a safe environment for everyone, we avoid cross-talk in our meetings. Cross-talk is interrupting someone when they are sharing, commenting on what someone shares, talking to someone directly in the meeting, or referencing what someone has said in this or another meeting. We also avoid excessive detailing of our acting-out behaviors.

And remember, our focus remains on the solution rather than the problem. We will stop the sharing and go to check-in around 5:15.

Does anyone have a recovery topic for discussion?

​

[someone suggests a topic, then...]

​

Thank you for the topic of... (restate as you understand the topic).

​​

The floor is now open.

​

CHECK-IN (about 5:15)

It's time for check-in.

Each person is encouraged to share as much or as little as they like, using the following outline:

• how our addiction has manifested in our lives,

• how long we have been sober from sexually acting out, and

• what is going on in our life that impacts our recovery.

(We will open the breakout rooms now, and will bring us all back together in about 15 minutes when we'll close today's meeting.)

• Who would like to check in first?

CLOSING

​

Remember, this is a closed meeting for sex addicts.

What you hear here, whom you see here, when you leave here, leave it here! [Here, Here!]

We hope you can agree with the Seventh Step Prayer...

My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad.

I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows.

Grant me the strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. 

​

Please join me now for the WE version of the Serenity Prayer...

​

[Together] God, grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

​

Keep coming back.

It works, if you work it,

because you're worth it.
