Chemically Dependent Anonymous' (CDA) book by the same name outlines their history, philosophical underpinnings, & the program for people who are chemically dependent. CDA is a support group that deals with the disease of addiction & the possibility that an addict will transfer his or her chemical dependency from one substance to another. CDA has based its program on the programs proven successful by Alcoholics Anonymous for more than half a century. They have adapted AA's twelve steps & twelve traditions, changing them only so they refer to chemical dependency as a whole, rather than just alcohol abuse. The book CHEMICALLY DEPENDENT ANONYMOUS contains personal stories by 23 courageous recovering men & women who have been willing to share their personal stories about their addiction, their attempts at recovery & their success in combatting many varieties of substance abuse. Their stories have been kept as nearly as possible in their own words. Only those who have been there can so eloquently explain how they have been able to rebuild their lives. These CDA members want to give hope to others that they too may find freedom from their addictions through CDA's own time tested program of recovery outlined in this book.
