A CoDA meeting is a group of two or more people who come together around their shared desire for healthy and loving relationships. The meeting uses the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Co- Dependents Anonymous as the basis for working toward recovery. It is a place to find sponsorship and fellowship as well as the sharing of experience, strength, and hope. A strong sense of acceptance and community makes a meeting attractive both to the newcomer and old timer.
There are minimal requirements to be considered a CoDA meeting. These requirements are to read the four following Foundational Documents as written at every meeting and to register the meeting with either CoDA World or their Voting Entity (VE).
- The Welcome (short or long version)
- Preamble of Co-Dependents Anonymous
- Twelve Steps of Co-Dependents Anonymous
- Twelve Traditions of Co-Dependents Anonymous
In addition, CoDA groups are required to use the Co-Dependents Anonymous book as a primary resource for the meeting. No other Twelve Step book can be used at a CoDA meeting. Exclusive use of Co-Dependents Anonymous book at meetings means that the CoDA message is not diluted in any way.
Meetings who choose not to read the four Foundational Documents or use a non-CoDA Twelve Step book will not be recognized as CoDA meetings and will not be listed in the CoDA Meeting Directory on the CoDA.org website.
