You offer those people YOU! Be honest with them, tell them who you are and be an example to them through your actions of what can happen as a result of working the steps. This is an opportunity for you to further ensure your own sobriety by being of service by chairing this meeting. I don't sponsor people, go to meetings, speak at meetings or help set up or tear down after meetings to keep others sober. I do it for me, so I can stay sober. Just be yourself and share what you can for now. Share more as time goes on and you work and re-work the steps. This is a great opportunity for you.
