The people who gather are a tribe not of blood, but of spirit, for all are born into it. We are bound together by our desire to live in peace, to be in the cathedral of nature, and to heal ourselves through union with the earthly mother and heavenly father. ~Rainbow Gathering Flyer

In C.D.A. we are truly a tribe, not of blood, but of spirit. Upon finding the Fellowship, it isn't “me” and “you” anymore is it? It’s “we” and “us.” Twelve-step groups say that this is a “we” program, not a “me” program—and that means we are a family. Just look at our Steps, they all say “We admitted” or “We came to believe.” Doing it together makes us stronger and less likely to fool ourselves with dysfunctional ways of thinking. Many people say, “Our mind is a dangerous neighborhood to be in alone.” But, together we can become the “neighborhood block watch!” So, don't let your mind get the better of you. Turn that “m” in “me” upside down (just as we are asked to turn it over), and make a “we” out of that “me.”

I may not have it all together, BUT

together WE have it all!

But even as our diversity makes us unique, our addiction makes us all one and the same. The emphasis, in C.D.A., is placed on this common ground.
