12-Step Discussion
Guest speaker shares for about 10 minutes on one Step. Discussion follows.
Sunday
Big Book Reading
The host leads a reading from the Big Book, followed by discussion.
For the Saturday 12-Step meeting (or Tradition meeting), invite a member to speak on a Step (or Tradition). Sunday doesn’t need a pre-arranged speaker — the host reads from the Big Book.
- Check the group calendar for members with an anniversary and invite them to speak.
- Try to find speakers who don’t normally attend the meeting.
- Confirm with the speaker which Step (or Tradition) they’ll cover.
- Get the host claim code from the orange button at the top of this page (Members Area).

Welcome to the Hollywood Squares men’s weekend morning meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. We meet every Saturday and Sunday at 11:00 AM Eastern, along with our daily 7 PM meeting and the Friday/Saturday 10 PM Dealer’s Choice meetings. The co-hosts will post the meeting schedule in the chat.
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 the speaker (Saturday) or begin the Big Book reading (Sunday).
Ask:
- The group Treasurer for the 7th Tradition (see Member Jobs for current officer).
- The Medallion coordinator for anniversary information (see Member Jobs for current officer).
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.
When using chat, make sure you select the specific person you want to send a message to — do not use the “reply” pop-up feature. Before sending, check the “To:” box to make sure you’re not sending to Everyone.
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.
