Participation is
voluntary, we avoid topics that can
lead to dissension or distraction. If someone feels another is getting
too
explicit, you may hang-up and return a few minutes later. Unless the
group
desires it, we request no cross-talk please. We define cross-talk as
commenting
on what another has shared, directing comments toward one individual,
asking
questions or whispering while
another is
talking.
Because this is a
telemeeting, the laws of all the states, provinces, and countries
represented
apply. To protect yourself and others in
this meeting, please do
not be specific as to when, where,
with whom,
or how you have acted out. If you acted
out, we don't need to know what you did.
Instead, talk about your feelings, emotions and thinking around
your
acting out behavior.
The Newcomers reading is
used when people new to the Sex
Addiction Fellowships are present and
who have not attend
any Sex Addiction
Meetings before, either face-to-face
or telemeeting. Doing the newcomers
readings is
a reminder to all of us
as to where
we have come. It is our way of welcoming
new people to the fellowship. We all
entered our first meeting
and were accepted by those
there. This is our opportunity to return that favor.
Typically,
the secretary reads all
of the new member readings, but they
are listed here so you can follow
along.
Remember to press *6 on
your phone to mute when you
are NOT talking and *6 again to un-mute your phone to talk.
Meeting Agenda:

Prayer ( we usually only read
the first 4 lines )
