Crystal Meth Anonymous, or CMA, is a free, anonymous fellowship of people who help each other stop using crystal meth and stay stopped, one day at a time. Members follow a twelve-step programme, with meetings in the UK in person and online.

There are no fees and no referrals. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using.

Who it's for

CMA is for anyone who wants to stop using crystal meth or other stimulants. It is open to people from every background, and is often a comfortable home for those whose using has been tied up with chemsex or the LGBTQ+ scene, though everyone is welcome. You do not have to have stopped before you come.

What happens in a meeting

A meeting usually lasts about an hour. Someone chairs it, reads a short opening, and members share from their own experience. You will not be called on or made to speak, and most people just listen at first. What is said in the room stays in the room, and a first name is all anyone uses.

A bit of history

Crystal Meth Anonymous began in West Hollywood, California, in 1994, started by people in recovery who saw a growing need for a meeting focused on crystal meth. It adapted the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and has since spread internationally, including to the UK, in person and online.
