Co-Dependents Anonymous is a fellowship of people whose common purpose is to develop healthy relationships. The only requirement for membership is a desire for healthy and loving relationships. We gather together to support and share with each other in a journey of self-discovery -- learning to love the self. Living the program allows each of us to become increasingly honest with ourselves about our personal histories and our own behaviors. * We rely on the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions for knowledge and wisdom. These are the principles of our program and guides to developing honest and fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others. By actively working the program of Co-Dependents Anonymous, we can each realize a new joy, acceptance and serenity in our lives. If you are new to the group and plan to attend in person, please sign up by selecting this "treatment" option that has zero cost involved. * The meeting has a video option as well as attending in person. Please book yourself in online ONLY if you plan to attend via video. Thank you!
