Meetings

There are weekly phone meetings in SCA.  The length of the meetings ranges from 20 minutes to one hour.

People are encouraged to call in about 15 minutes early and to stay on the line after the meeting for fellowship.

There are no dues or fees to attend a meeting.  However, please be aware that calling in will incur long distance charges to your phone bill if your calling plan charges for long distance calling.  SCA does not charge anything for anyone to call in.

Consistent with the 7th tradition, SCA does accept donations.

The SCA phone number for all SCA phone meetings is

(712) 770-4838,  then enter the participant access code 184454#

Each meeting time is its own meeting and chooses its own meeting format and style,

within overall SCA guidelines and parameters.

* Beta meetings are meetings which have existed for less than six months.  Since Beta meetings are newly formed, sometimes there might be only one (or even perhaps zero) person who calls in.  After a meeting has existed for more than six months and there are always people who call into it, it will then be designated a regular meeting.

How to start a new meeting:

Any member of SCA can start a new meeting.  However, it is strongly suggested that before a member starts a new meeting he or she has already attended plenty of SCA meetings and has thus become very familiar with the format of the meetings.

If you would like to start a new meeting, network with your fellow members of SCA in order to determine an appropriate time and format.  SCA also has some basic recommendations for how to format a meeting.  Once there is a time and format selected for the meeting, contact SCA so we can list the new meeting as a "beta" meeting on this website.

The How to Listen to God Pamphlet

People attending the 11th step guidance meetings may find it useful to read the "How to Listen to God" PDF attached at the bottom of this page.

This pamphlet was used by many of the early AA pioneers to structure their 11th step. It was written by John Batterson, a personal friend of Dr. Bob's.
