Our Meetings

Thanks for stopping by! If you're exploring Co-Dependents Anonymous (CoDA) and wondering what our meetings are like, you're in the right place.

Who Can Attend?

Anyone with a desire for healthy and loving relationships is welcome—no matter your background, identity, or experience. That’s the only requirement to attend a CoDA meeting. We welcome people of all races, ages, abilities, religious affiliations, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

Many of our members also attend other Twelve Step fellowships. CoDA complements, rather than replaces, those programs.

CoDA meetings are completely free. There are no dues or fees to attend. You don’t need to sign up or let us know in advance. You’re welcome to come exactly as you are.

What Is Sharing Like?

During the small group check-in, members are invited to share briefly about their current experiences and feelings. Sharing is always optional.

Some newcomers choose to listen quietly at first, and others feel ready to speak. Both are perfectly okay. When we do share, we use:

• “I” statements (to focus on our own experience)

• A time limit of 3–5 minutes, so everyone has time to share

This part of the meeting helps many of us feel seen, heard, and less alone.
