What is a "Meeting Anchor"?
The "anchor of the day" shows up on time and makes sure the meeting gets started. The anchor doesn't have to lead the meeting. You just need to show up and then direct whoever wishes to lead on where to find the format.
It doesn't happen often, but sometimes you arrive and find yourself alone. If this is the case, you start the meeting and keep going, pasting in the format by yourself, talking to your own version of 'higherpower'. Starting meetings on time is part of our recovery. Procrastinators are often latecomers, so you know that other PA members will arrive soon and you won't be alone. If you build it, they will come.
We decided in the PA business meeting that the same person doesn't have to anchor each week. Hence a sign-up sheet. This is where to sign up if you would like to anchor. Just reply to the post for the week you want to anchor (and remember to do it!!!).
If you are new to PA, you too can anchor! All you need to do is to show up on time and make sure the meeting happens.
FORMAT:
Our meeting format is at the following link:

This sign-up sheet goes from September through October 2012.
Please sign up and show up, so that we can keep this wonderful resource going!

Tool #3 -- Ask Yourself Why
Reply here to sign up to anchor the meeting this week Feb. 17th.
movingalong led chatbox 12step meeting Feb 17th.
I made a conscious effort to step aside for 6 weeks
and *not* lead and *not* anchor this meeting.
This was a part of my recovery,
so that I could focus on my own projects;
and also so that others could step forward.
Today was first time I achored this meeting in 7 weeks,
and I am grateful for everyone else's participation :)
I will continue this process of anchoring rarely.

[b]Our Step of the Week: Step Seven:[/b] Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.
[b]Our Recovery Tool of the Week: Tool #5 -- Avoid Time Bingeing:[/b] One reason procrastinators dread starting is that once they start they don't let themselves stop. Plan to work on a task for a defined period of time, then set a timer. When the timer goes off, you're done.
[b]Our P.A. Promise of the Week: Promise #1[/b] We will release the need for perfectionism; and be willing to begin imperfectly trusting that our Higher Power will reveal to us our enormous potential; thus enabling us to trust that our actions are good enough.
