1. Our common welfare should come first, personal recovery depends on CMA unity.
2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority-a loving God as expressed in our group consious. 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. An 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 self supporting, declining outside contributions.
8. Crystal Meth Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional, but our service centers my employ social 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 then promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, films, and all other media.
12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our Traditions, ever reminding us to place principals above personalities.
1. We admitted that we were powerless over crystal meth and our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a power greater then ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will over to the care of a God of our understanding.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God,to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought thru prayer and meditation to improve our consious contact with a God of our understanding praying only for the knowledge of God's will for us, and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awaking as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to crystal meth addicts, and to practice these principals in all our affairs.
