See the entire 2021 Motions Summary: https://www.codependents.org/CSC/2021/2021_Files/2021_CSC_Motions_Sum.pdf

 

  • Motion 21011  Identification of CoDA Foundational Documents. There was a motion last year to make Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, Twelve Service Concepts documents that, if someone wants to change them, must go through a 2-year process; this motion adds to that Twelve Promises, CoDA Welcome (long and short versions) and the preamble. Also noted required to be read at meetings are CoDA Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, The Welcome (long or short), and the Preamble. Motion Key: 5323 Passed 2/3 majority.
  • Motion 21068  Update the Preamble: Preamble: Co-Dependents Anonymous is a Fellowship of people whose common purpose is to develop healthy relationships. The only requirement for membership is a desire for healthy and loving relationships. We gather together to support and share with each other in a journey of self-discovery - learning to love the self. Living the program allows each of us to become increasingly honest with ourselves about our personal histories and our own codependent behaviors. We rely upon the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions for knowledge and wisdom. These are the principles of our program and guides to developing honest and fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others. In CoDA, we each learn to build a bridge to a Higher Power of our understanding, and we allow others the same privilege. This renewal process is a gift of healing for us. By actively working the program of Co-Dependents Anonymous, we can each realize a new joy, acceptance and serenity in our lives.

 

Motion Key: 5399 Passed 2/3 majority. 

(This is the first year of a two-year process upon passage next year, with 3/4 majority, this will become effective immediately in all CoDA literature).
