Happy 36th Birthday, CoDA!
The very first CoDA meeting took place in Phoenix on October 22, 1986. It's amazing that it's been 36 years! Many of us are forever grateful to our Higher Power for that gift. It's also been an incredible gift to be able to watch CoDA grow for so many years. Please join us in celebrating this miraculous birthday.
Below are links to two documents. The first document is a letter written by our Founders, Ken and Mary R. The second is 4 pages from the first issue of the original CoDA Newsletter, the Bear Facts. We hope you all enjoy reading these!

This mailing list is announce-only.
The purpose of this list is to share information with any & all CoDA members, especially that which may effect CoDA as a whole.
We will be sending out regular emails with CoDA events, announcements, issues & CoDA business of interest to both specific regions & to the entire CoDA fellowship.
Per the 2nd tradition, For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority, a loving higher power as expressed to our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern. Developing a group conscience requires an informed fellowship, & to be effective trusted servants those you've elected must know the group conscience of the fellowship.
Per the 11th & 12th Traditions this list is private & anonymous.
