Unlike traditional “Open CoDA Meetings,” a “Hospitals and Institutions (H&I) Meeting” is informational in nature.  It's about explaining what CoDA is, and is not.  How the CoDA porgram helps people deal with codependency issues.  Working with CoDA Literature and carrying the message of CoDA recovery to others (Twelfth Step) is an excellent way to lift your own recovery to a new level.  If you're a CoDA member with more than a year in recovery and are interested in doing service please get in touch with Long Island CoDA. Contact information is listed below.  You'll receive a brief orientation, and the opportunity to speak at this special kind of meeting.
