What is a meeting?
A meeting is two or more people gathered together to share their experience, strength and hope with each other. A meeting may call itself a Co-Anon Family Group when:
- Its primary purpose is to help the family members and friends of someone who is addicted to cocaine and all other mind-altering substances.
- The only requirement for membership is that there is a problem with cocaine and other mind-altering substances in a family member or friend.
- It is fully self-supporting.
- It has no outside affiliation.
- Its public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion.
- It has no opinions on outside issues.
Who can start a meeting?
Tradition 3 – The only requirement for membership is that there is a problem with cocaine or other mind-altering substance in a family member or friend. The family and friends, when gathered together for mutual help, may call themselves a Co-Anon Family Group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation.
Co-Anon Family Groups is a growing fellowship in South Africa and we would like to encourage and help anyone to start a meeting.
All we ask is you follow the guidelines, Steps and Traditions.
More information on setting up a meeting is available via the Co-Anon WSO.
