The problem, as we see it, consists of an obsession of the mind and an allergy of the body. The obsession is a continued and irresistible thought of the drugs and the next high. The allergy creates an absolute inability to stop using once we begin. We wish to assure you that there is a solution and that recovery is possible. It begins with abstinence and continues with practicing the Twelve Steps of recovery, one day at a time. Our program, the Twelve Steps of Cocaine Anonymous, is the means by which we move from the problem of addiction to the solution of recovery.
Here are some tips to help you: • Admit that you lack the power to stay clean on your own. • Make sobriety your #1 priority. • Throw away all your drugs and drug paraphernalia. • Don’t deal drugs. • Go to meetings daily. • Get phone numbers and use them. • If your dealer calls, hang up and call someone on your phone list. • If no one is home and you’re in trouble, call the C.A. helpline. • Stay away from people, places and things with which you associate drug use. • Choose a home group; let people get to know you. • Get a sponsor and call your sponsor every day. • Work the Twelve Steps of Cocaine Anonymous with your sponsor. • Read the books and literature. • Be of service; get a commitment at a meeting. • Be honest, open-minded and willing (H.O.W.). • Don’t get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired (H.A.L.T.). • Keep it simple. We stay clean and sober one day at a time. • Pray. Ask questions. Seek answers. • No matter what happens, keep coming back! • Be patient. Recovery takes time. • Remember, we care.
