What is CA?
"Cocaine Anonymous is a
fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and
hope with each other that they may solve their
common problem and help others recover from their addiction.
The best way to reach someone is to speak to them on a common level
The members of C.A. are all recovering addicts who maintain their
individual sobriety by working with others. We come from various
social, ethnic, economic and religious backgrounds, but what we have
in common is addiction.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using
cocaine and all other mind-altering substances.
Anyone who wants to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering
substances (including alcohol and other drugs) is welcome.
There are no dues or fees for membership; we are fully
self supporting through our own
contributions.
We do ask for voluntary contributions at meetings to cover expenses
such as coffee, rent, literature and services to help those who are
still suffering. However, newcomers need not feel obligated to
contribute. We do not accept donations from organizations or
individuals outside the fellowship.
We are not allied with any sect, denomination, politics,
organization or institution.
In order to maintain our integrity and avoid any possible
complications, we are not affiliated with any outside organization.
Although C. A. is a spiritual program, we do not align ourselves
with any religion. Our members are free to define their spirituality
as they see fit. Our individual members may have opinions of their
own, but C. A. as a whole has no opinion on outside issues. We are
not affiliated with any rehabs, recovery houses or hospitals, but
many do refer their patients to Cocaine Anonymous to maintain their
sobriety.
Our primary purpose is to stay
free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances and to help
others achieve the same freedom..."
