Quotes and Facts
Cocaine Anonymous began in Los Angeles in 1982, and has since expanded throughout the United States and Canada, with groups now forming in Europe. Our literature is available in English, French, and Spanish and our first book "Hope, Faith and Courage: Stories from the Fellowship of Cocaine Anonymous" was published in 1994. As of 1996, we estimated our membership at 30,000 members in over 2,000 groups. |

Volunteer Opportunities |
|
|
Volunteering to help the Westside Club is a great way to be of service. We are always looking for volunteers — especially for club the events. You will stay away from your addiction, meet new people, and contribute.
Other organizations working with substance abuse need help too. Check out our recovery resources page to see a list of recovery resource links to contact them to see about volunteer opportunities.
To be included on a list of Twelve Steppers or to volunteer to work the AA hotline for WAIA (training is provided), go to the WAIA Web site and contact them for more information.
For those of you who want to volunteer, or for institutions who want the Westside Club to post a volunteer opportunity, stop by the snack bar or call 202-333-0218.
