The CoDA Literature Committee (CLC) develops new literature for the CoDA Fellowship, guided by our Higher Power, the Twelve Steps, and Twelve Traditions. In addition, CLC updates and edits existing CoDA literature before it is reprinted.
Our goal is to create literature that supports the still suffering codependent in working all aspects of their recovery program.
The CoDA Literature Committee invites you to submit your writings for three CoDA publications.
