Welcome to Steps To Grace Group of Cocaine Anonymous in Brampton, Ontario

What is Cocaine Anonymous

"Cocaine anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience strength and hope with each other, that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from addiction. There are no fees or dues for membership. Although, we are fully self supporting through our own contributions. We are not allied with any sect, religion or denomination, politics or institution and do not wish to engage in any controversy or endorse any causes. We use the 12 steps of recovery from the Alcoholics Anonymous "Big Book" as a path to freedom from our disease, as it has already been proven that it is our most powerful tool in recovery."

Friday Meeting Format

Preamble: Our primary purpose is to connect untreated addicts to recovered addicts who guide newcomers through a personalized one on one study of the Twelve Step program as described in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. We substitute terms and phrases related to alcoholism to include cocaine and all mind-altering substances.

We open this meeting with a moment of silence followed by the Step Three Prayer...let us take that moment now...

Opening Prayer: God...I offer myself to Thee--to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I might better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy will always.

Check-in

This a Big Book Sponsorship Meeting. We shall be interested to hear from those who are getting results from this book, particularly those who have commenced work with other addicts. We have no attitude of Holier Than Thou, nothing whatever except the sincere desire to be helpful; that there are no fees to pay, no axes to grind, no people to please, no lectures to be endured--these are the conditions we have found most effective. We have ceased fighting anything or anyone, even cocaine and all mind-altering substances. Love and tolerance of others is our code. We don't talk down to an addict from any moral or spiritual hilltop; we simply lay out the kit of spiritual tools for your inspection and show others how they worked for us. We offer friendship and fellowship. If you want to get well we will do anything to help. We read from the first 164 pages of the Big Book followed by a period of questions and answers on what was just read. To show other addicts precisely how we have recovered is the main purpose of this book. Newcomers are encouraged to listen and ask questions. If you wish to share your step experience or ask a question, wait until you are acknowledged by the chairperson. Please keep your sharing to approximately two to three minutes. Tonight we will be starting on page..

Closing Comments and Prayer

We have a 7th Tradition. There are no dues or fees for C.A. membership. We are fully self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. Our needs are simple, a place to hold our meeting and literature to help carry the message.

Remember, studying the steps is not the same as taking the Steps. The Big Book says, "Here are the steps we took" NOT "here are the steps we read and talked about." The AA pioneers proved that action, not knowledge, produced the spiritual awakening that resulted in recovery from alcoholism or addiction.

If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to recover, then you are ready to take certain steps. To work with someone who has recovered, someone who can show you 'how it works'--'that is 'how to recover from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body', see me after the meeting and we will get you started.

Remember, we recover by the steps we take, not the meetings we make!

Closing Prayer: My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. Amen.
