i am chairing a meeting this week on the 4th step.
Although i am still relatively new<1 year> i have chaired 3 meetings. I still find it rather intimidating to chair
but i do enjoy it!! i always learn something new about myself, mostly from listening to others sharing!!!
Can anyone tell me a good topic for the 4th step ....i don't know i find this step rather daunting.....overwhelming..
but i do want the group to have a good understanding of the step weather a person has done it or not....something to leave
them thinking....i just want a good meeting.And i have not even attempted this step.although i am contemplating on starting it..at some point this year
i was thinking of keeping it positive by having the group members look into a mirror and asking if they would share one asset
that they see in them selves..and how their higher power has helped them to see that asset or achieve it<if they want to participate that is their choice,i am fully aware that some may not...i don't want to offend anyone.
any replies would be greatly appriciated
thank you in advance

Hi and Welcome Not sure if you are charing Alanon acoa or AA
Alanon has a book, titled "the Courage to Change" . I always find it helpful to open a meeting, with a reading from that book, on the topic that I selected. It centers the group and facilitates sharing. Page 65 is perfect for the 4th Step.
Then you can share your ESH on the topic and open the meeting,as you suggested with everyone finding an asset
Let us know how it goes

we r meeting this week after doing exercise 1 in the yellow book.I think the common traits we do not have, what contradicting traits we developed, and what event(s) caused that in our lives will be a good discussion topic for us this week.
