one of total abstinence. We believe that no
addict can use drink or drugs normally or
safely.
CA Sussex CIO uses the twelve steps of
Alcoholics Anonymous which is a programme
of action designed to bring about a change
sufficient to enable us to get clean and stay
clean. The problem that every addict faces is
staying stopped. Cocaine Anonymous with its
meetings, fellowship, unity, twelve steps and
literature enable us to continue to stay clean
as part of an ongoing way of life.
A key part of the 12-step programme is to
carry the message of recovery to addicts who
need help.| Docusign Envelope ID: EB1D08ED-4A6D-42AC-B2E0-9DBE32984985 |Statement confirming
