How To Find Meetings

Here are a few suggestions:

1. Check the official website of Adult Children of Alcoholics: http://adultchildren.org/

   Or write or call them at the ACOA headquarters:

   Adult Children of Alcoholics
   World Service Organization
   P.O. Box 3216
   Torrance, CA 90510
   (310) 534-1815
   email: info@AdultChildren.org
   Website: http://adultchildren.org/

   The above phone number is answered when people are available in the office. When they are not available you can leave a message with the answering service. Please note that to receive information on meetings in your area you need to send a self-addressed stamped envelope to the above address.

2. Look in the phone book (white pages) under Adult Children of Alcoholics, ACA, ACOA, Codependents Anonymous or CODA. If you don't find a listing, your local Alcoholics Anonymous or Al-Anon chapters may be able to refer you. Check the phone book. They are listed in almost every city nationwide.

3. Local newspapers often have a "where and when" of community events. In this town it is printed every first Tuesday of the month.

4. Adult Children Anonymous General Service Network
   P.O. Box 25166
   Minneapolis, MN 55458-6166

5. 12-Step chat site: Mining Company

Important: Note that not all meetings are registered. In that case the best thing to do is ask around. If you cannot find meetings in your area, start one. Just ask some AA's or other folks with 12-Step experience to help. Here are a few meeting formats to help you get started: Tuesday, Sunday, Thursday. You can get a new meeting packet from the ACOA headquarters (listed above).
