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

carry the message of recovery to addicts who
