· Twelve Traditions of Narcotics Anonymous
7th tradition:
The 7th tradition states that “Every NA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.” This meeting does collect a 7th tradition which pays for the cost of the online meetings and anything left over will be donated to the Sonoma County Area of Narcotics Anonymous, Region, and World.
The 3rd Tradition states that “the only requirement for membership is the desire to stop using”. If you are unable, or choose not to contribute to the 7th tradition, we welcome you and invite you to participate in the meeting.
We ask that only NA members contribute to the 7th tradition. It is a violation of our traditions to accept donations from non-members.
Instructions for how to donate to the Sonoma Online NA Meeting can be found on the website for this meeting on the “Donate” page.

Speaker Introduction:
This is a speaker discussion meeting. The speaker will speak for 25-30 min after which we will open the meeting for members to share. I have asked _________ to share their experiance, strength, and hope.
Discussion:
Please limit your shares to 3-5 minutes so everyone has a chance to participate. You can participate by simply speaking, or by virtually raising your hand. The Raise Hand option is in the lower right corner, or in the Participants selection at the bottom.
If more than one person speaks at the same time, the host will select one of the members to speak. Other member should use the hand raise function to identify that they would like to speak next.
We ask that you do not engage in cross-talk. Cross-talk is interrupting another member by engaging in; dialogue, debate, or commenting extensively on others shares.
In Closing:
Does anyone have a burning desire? A burning desire is if you feel like using, speak up and take the power out of it.
We ask that who you see here, and what you hear here, stays here. Please be respectful of our members anonymity.
