Sonoma Online NA Marathon Meeting Format
Welcome to the Sonoma Online Marathon Meeting of Narcotics Anonymous. My name is _________, I am an addict and your secretary. Let’s open the meeting with the Serenity Prayer.
This is a holiday marathon meetings. Our meetings are not recorded and we ask that attendees NOT record in any way or make screen prints. If you have called in from your phone and wish to keep your number private, you can dial *67 before the area code of the meeting call-in number.
Upon entry to the meeting your microphone will be muted. The chat will generally become available during meeting breaks. If you are connected through a device with a video camera, you may choose to enable or disable your video image. You can do so by clicking the video icon.
Our first tradition states that "personal recovery depends on NA unity". This means that if someone is disruptive by displaying inappropriate images or engaging in harassing or otherwise disruptive behavior, they will be removed from the meeting.
A newcomer is someone in their first 30 days of recovery. Do we have any newcomers or anyone who is attending their very first NA meeting?

Just for today I will have faith in someone in NA who believes in me and wants to help me in my recovery.
Just for today I will have a program. I will try to follow it to the best of my ability.
Just for today through NA I will try to get a better perspective on my life.
