"Hi, my name is Bob and I am an alcoholic and your Secretary.

Let us open the meeting with a moment of silence to do with as you wish followed by the Serenity Prayer:

God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference.

Is there anyone who is here for their first AA meeting? Please introduce yourself by your first name only. We want to welcome you now."

"Hi, my name is Anthony and I'm an alcoholic"
