FUNDS

CoDA Community services are funded by meeting contributions in excess of prudent reserves. 

To send your 7th Tradition Contribution, click here to print out pdf form.

Each CoDA meeting is encouraged to maintain a prudent reserve in their treasury (normally 2 to 3 months rent and expenses). Over and above that amount, it is suggested that any additional 7th Tradition monies be sent to local, regional, and international CoDA service groups for outreach & service.

As a guideline, we suggest the following distribution:
          60% excess to GSACC  -  (Community Level) - 1800 21st Street, PMB 210, Sacramento, CA 95811-6812
          30% excess to NorCal CoDA - (Intergroup/Regional Level) - 1800 21st Street, PMB 230, Sacramento, CA 95811-6812
          10% excess to Co-Dependents Anonymous, Inc. - PO Box 33577, Phoenix, AZ  85067-3577

SPONSORSHIP IN CODA - AS EASY AS 1 - 2 - 3 !

READY TO WORK THE STEPS?

Would you like to work the steps with a CoDA Sponsor? 

In CoDA, there are many suggested ways to find a Sponsor and work the Twelve Steps. We lovingly offer another tool to aid our CoDA community in accomplishing our primary purpose to help the codependent who still suffers. This method suggests a simple strategy for both the Sponsor and the Sponsee to set healthy boundaries, have clarity of goals, and get their needs met for support and flexibility. As a CoDA member commits to working the program using this method, the 30 questions and daily journal checklist will move them gently through the first three steps using the CoDA Blue Book as the reference. This is a work in progress and may be revised from time to time. Click here>> for New Sponsee/Sponsor Tool.

Do you need a CoDA Sponsor? 

For a phone list of available sponsors, or if you would like to be a sponsor, please contact Debbie W. at redhatattitide@gmail.com
