There is an answer: come to meetings of Cocaine Anonymous. While the name “Cocaine Anonymous” may sound drug-specific, we wish to assure you that our program is not.
Many of our members did a lot of cocaine; others used only a little, and some never even tried coke.
Whether we focused on a specific mind-altering substance or used whatever we
could get our hands on, we had one thing in common: eventually we all reached a point where we could not stop.
Over time, virtually every single one of us has realized that our
real problem is not cocaine or any specific drug; it is the disease of addiction.
According to C.A.’s Third Tradition, the only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. It doesn’t matter to us if you drank or what type of drugs you used; if you have a desire to stop, you are welcome in Cocaine Anonymous!
