Our whole attitude and outlook on life will change. ~Barbara S. Cole

The essence of all growth in C.D.A. is a willingness to change for the better. We attain this willingness for change by working through the Steps which enables us to see our attitude and our perception on life transform. Newcomers ask us, “When does it get better?” We tell them, “It gets better when your behavior changes.” Gradually, what newcomers need to do becomes what they want to do, and change becomes simple. In the new lives we create, we slowly shed the fear of the past and fear of the unknown while eagerly grasping the freedom that this program so generously offers. Our negative thoughts and ideas are replaced with positive ones. As a result of this, we transform, attaining the spiritual awakening that is needed in order to become the people we are meant to be.

My new outlook on life is mirrored, as I slowly become the person I always pretended to be.

Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to chemically dependent persons and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
