Co-Dependents Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women whose common problem is an inability to maintain functional relationships.

We share with one another in the hopes of solving our common problem and helping others to recover. The only requirement for membership is a desire for healthy and fulfilling relationships with others and ourselves.

CoDA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution’ does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. We rely upon the wisdom, knowledge, Twelve Steps, and Twelve Traditions, as adopted for our purpose from Alcoholics Anonymous, as the principles of our program and guides to living healthy lives, Although separate entitles, we should always cooperate with all twelve-step recovery programs.
