The 12 Traditions of CMA |
|
|
|
|
1. |
Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon CMA
unity. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—a loving God
as expressed in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted
servants; they do not govern. |
|
|
|
3. |
The only requirement for CMA membership is a desire to stop using. |
|
|
|
4. |
Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups
or CMA as a whole. |
|
|
|
5. |
Each group has but one primary purpose—to carry its message to the
Addict who still suffers. |
|
|
|
6. |
A CMA group ought never endorse, finance or lend the CMA name to any
related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property
and prestige divert us from our primary purpose. |
|
|
|
7. |
Every CMA group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside
contributions. |
|
|
|
8. |
Crystal Meth Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our
service centers may employ special workers. |
|
|
|
9. |
CMA, as such, ought never be organized; but
we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those
they serve. |
|
|
|
10. |
Crystal Meth Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the CMA
name ought never be drawn into public controversy. |
|
|
|
11. |
Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than
promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of
press, radio and films and all other media. |
|
|
|
12. |
Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever
reminding us to place principles before personalities. |
