Dealer’s Choice means you, the host, choose the format and topic for the meeting. It’s a flexible late-night meeting that runs Friday and Saturday at 10:00 PM Eastern.
Pick something that’s meaningful to you, or whatever feels right for the room. A few common formats:
- Topic discussion — pick a topic from AA literature (gratitude, acceptance, willingness, etc.), share briefly, then open it up.
- Big Book or 12&12 reading — read a passage, share your reaction, then open discussion.
- Speaker share — ask a member to share their story for 10–15 minutes.
- Step or Tradition study — focus on one Step or one Tradition.
- Daily Reflections — read the day’s reflection and discuss.
- Get the host claim code from the orange button at the top of this page (Members Area).

Welcome to the Hollywood Squares men’s Dealer’s Choice meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. We meet Friday and Saturday nights at 10:00 PM Eastern, along with our nightly 7 PM meeting and weekend morning meetings.
This group asks participants to remain muted unless sharing. Please keep your camera on, and label your screen with your first name and where you are from.
Let’s open this meeting with a moment of silence. I’ve asked XXXX to do the moment of silence and read the Serenity Prayer, and I’ve asked XXXX to read the Preamble.
Then introduce your chosen format/topic and begin.
At a natural break (after your speaker, reading, or topic intro), read this aloud:
Please open the chat feature for announcements. There is a Raise Hand feature if you wish to share. The group also asks that you do not use emojis in your name or on screen during meetings.
The “Everyone” chat is for group business, the 7th Tradition, and other group announcements. The co-hosts will now post upcoming outgoing commitments and the meeting schedule link.
We call on those new to the meeting or those we have not seen for a while.
Have the person you assigned earlier close the meeting with the Lord’s Prayer.
- Limit any talk between people sharing — it’s distracting and eats time from other potential speakers.
- If you have to leave early and you’re the Host, pass the host role to another member and tell them verbally that they now have it.
- If your button says “End Meeting for All,” you are still the Host — don’t end the meeting prematurely.
