2022 SoCal CoDA Conference

Join the Southern California CoDA community in exploring how we utilize the gift of Unity as expressed in Tradition One, “Our common welfare comes first; personal recovery depends on CoDA unity.” See how the conscious use of unity and common welfare can create a foundation of safety, purpose, and joy for recovery to flourish. Listen how others have employed this principle of Unity to strengthen their group or relationship connection. Take another step with us toward recovery in understanding how we all heal better when we work together, and not alone. Recovery is meant to happen together, as demonstrated by the program’s inclusion of all who desire healthy and loving relationships, regardless of station, belief, history or color. Your input will help in spreading the primary aim of the Codependent Anonymous program, " to reach the codependent who still suffers," by creating safe and nurturing environments for all members to recover enveloped in Love and Acceptance.
