At the end of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings, attendees often participate in a closing ritual that includes reciting certain statements or prayers. The most common closing phrases used at the end of AA meetings are:
The Serenity Prayer: "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
The Lord's Prayer: "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen."
"Keep coming back; it works if you work it."
"One day at a time."
It's important to note that the specific wording and practices may vary depending on the meeting group, and some AA meetings may have unique closing statements or variations of the above phrases. The closing is intended to reinforce the principles of the program, provide encouragement, and foster a sense of unity among the attendees.
