1.
|
Our common welfare
should come first; personal recovery depends upon CA unity. |
|
2.
|
For our group purpose
there is but one ultimate authority - a loving God as He may
express himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but
trusted servants; they do not govern. |
|
3.
|
The only requirement
for CA membership is a desire to stop using cocaine and all
other mind-altering substances. |
|
4.
|
Each group should be
autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or CA as a
whole. |
|
5.
|
Each group has but one
primary purpose - to carry its message to the addict who still
suffers. |
|
6.
|
A CA group ought never
endorse, finance, or lend the CA name to any related facility or
outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and
prestige divert us from our primary purpose. |
|
7.
|
Every CA group ought to
be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions. |
|
8.
|
Cocaine Anonymous
should be forever nonprofessional, but our service centers may
employ special workers. |
|
9.
|
CA, as such, ought
never be organized, but we may create service boards or
committees directly responsible to those they serve. |
|
10.
|
Cocaine Anonymous has
no opinion on outside issues; hence the CA name ought never be
drawn into public controversy. |
|
11.
|
Our public relations
policy is based on attraction rather than promotion we need
always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio,
television, and film. |
|
12.
|
Anonymity is the
spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to
place principles before personalities. |
