Cocaine Anonymous is a support group designed to help people addicted to cocaine. It's modeled after Alcoholics Anonymous and uses the same twelve-step program as Narcotics Anonymous and Gamblers Anonymous. If you or someone you know is addicted to cocaine, follow these steps to join Cocaine Anonymous.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Look up "Cocaine Anonymous" in your telephone directory or enter "Cocaine Anonymous" into your computer's web browser. There should be a group that meets near you. Some of them have their own websites.

  2. Step 2

    Decide if you want to attend a group or an online group meeting. Do whatever your schedule allows and you feel most comfortable with.

  3. Step 3

    Realize that Cocaine Anonymous, along with other twelve step programs, believe in relinquishing your control to a Higher Power. You don't need to believe in God, per se, but you must believe that there's a higher source at work for your better good.

  4. Step 4

    Prepare to hear the stories of recovered cocaine addicts if you attend a Cocaine Anonymous meeting. Afterward you'll be invited to join the group and begin your steps to recovery via the twelve-step program.

  5. Step 5

    Know that you may want to try several groups before you find a group of people you feel comfortable with. This group will be called your "home group."

  6. Step 6

    Acknowledge that after you have joined Cocaine Anonymous and become immersed in the twelve-step program, you may feel compelled to help out with the meetings. You can help make the coffee, become treasurer or help out in any area where there's a need.
