The Gifts of the COSA Program or The Business Meeting Prayer
The Gifts of the COSA Program
With the Twelve suggested Steps of recovery, and the wisdom, experience, and support of the COSA group, we discover the faith and acceptance to let go of the situations we were once desperate to control, and the courage and strength to grow in matters we once avoided or denied. Gradually, the gifts multiply. As our awareness increases, so does our personal power and self-esteem. In our relationships, we learn detachment and become more fully present. In continued recovery, we live our lives in deeper joy, serenity, and fulfillment, one day at a time.
The Business Meeting Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity to be still in your presence;
the patience to listen and fully understand, value and appreciate each perspective;
the wisdom to speak gently and clearly;
and the courage to accept that the result of Group Conscience is Higher Power at work.

We have found that when we thoroughly work our COSA program, we receive the life-changing gifts of recovery. We begin our journey toward healing when we walk through the meeting doors. We grow as we listen, as we share, as we work Steps, and as we take service positions to help the fellowship thrive. The promises become ours as we open our hearts and minds to the Steps, tools, and principles.
