The sole purpose of a Hospitals and Institutions Committee is to carry the message of Cocaine Anonymous to those in Hospitals and Institutions. Institutions served may include, but are not limited to: correctional facilities, sanitariums, detoxification units, juvenile detention centers, half-way houses, and shelters; either governmental or private. Confinement may be voluntary or involuntary.
The Committee is organized under the Ninth Tradition of Cocaine Anonymous, which states: “C.A., as such, ought never be organized; but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.” C.A. H&I meetings are held at the invitation of the Hospital or Institution, ever mindful of the admonition “Cooperation, not Affiliation!”
If you are serious about your recovery, then this is definitely a way to get deeply involved. Here in New Jersey, we have established a number of H&I meetings which are staffed by our individual members. We will always welcome any members of C.A. to become part of our committee and make a commitment to be part of a weekly or monthly H&I meeting. We have our business meeting on a regular monthly basis on Zoom. If you would like to become involved in H&I please come to one of our business meetings and we will get you signed up.
If you’re going to host an H&I commitment you will need a binder. Here are all of the printouts you will need.
Chips and Literature will be available Friday nights 7:30pm at the Speedball To
Recovery meeting.
