About Greater NY Group of CA

Cocaine Anonymous is an independent 12-Step fellowship with no formal or legal affiliation with Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, or any other “Anonymous” program. While our Steps, Traditions, and Concepts are adapted from those of A.A., we are a distinct fellowship with our own literature, structure, and purpose.

​

Our focus is singular: to help people find freedom from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances. We welcome anyone with a desire to stop using, regardless of the combinations or substances involved. Our program is built on spiritual principles, personal responsibility, and service to others—a simple design for living that works in all areas of life.

​

Cocaine Anonymous is not a public charity. We are a private, self-supporting fellowship operated for the benefit of our members. We do not solicit or accept outside contributions. Every meeting, event, and service effort is funded entirely through the voluntary contributions of our members, in keeping with our Seventh Tradition:

 

“Every C.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.”

​

Our fellowship was not born from controversy or crisis, but from shared experience and a collective need for recovery that spoke directly to the struggles of cocaine addiction and the chaos of modern drug use. Over time, our scope has naturally expanded to include all forms of chemical dependency and addictive behaviors—but our message remains clear and focused.

​

Our primary purpose is simple and unchanging.

To carry the message of recovery to the addict who still suffers.

​

We do this through unity, shared experience, and the practice of the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, and Twelve Concepts of Cocaine Anonymous—a framework for recovery that restores hope, builds community, and teaches us to live with purpose, integrity, and service.
