Start a Meeting

Any MA member in recovery can start a meeting, as long as it follows the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions. 

Before starting one, it's strongly suggested that you have at least six months free from marijuana, have attended a range of meetings (online, phone, and in person) so you know how they work, and team up with one or more other members to share the service roles. 

The New Meeting Starter Kit below walks through the details: finding a venue, formats, scripts, 7th Tradition, and listing your meeting.

For full guidance, see Creating a New Meeting from MA World Services, or join the District 11 Service Committee Meeting held on the second Sunday of each month. We are all here to help!
