About CMA

Crystal Meth Anonymous holds free, anonymous meetings across the UK for anyone who wants to stop using crystal meth or other stimulants. It is open to everyone, and is often a comfortable home for people whose using has been tied up with chemsex or the LGBTQ+ scene.

A meeting usually lasts about an hour, with members sharing from their own experience. You will never be made to speak, and most people just listen at first. Whatever is said in the room stays in the room.

CMA meetings in the UK run in person and online. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop using.

Common questions

Are CMA meetings free?

Yes. All Crystal Meth Anonymous (CMA) meetings are free to attend. There are no membership fees, no waiting lists, and no referrals required. Some groups pass a basket for voluntary contributions toward room hire costs, but this is entirely optional.

Do I have to speak at my first meeting?

No. You can come and listen without saying anything. Nobody will call on you, and most people find it easier to sit quietly and take things in at first. If you want to say your name you can, but there is no expectation.

Do I have to have stopped using crystal meth before I come?

No. You do not need to have stopped before your first meeting. Many people attend while still in the middle of the problem. The only requirement is a desire to stop.

Is CMA religious?

The programme references a higher power, which each member defines for themselves. Many members are not religious, and atheists and agnostics are common in the rooms. The spiritual aspect is about seeking help outside of yourself, not about any particular religion.

What happens at CMA meetings?

Someone chairs the meeting, reads a short opening, and members share from their own experience. You will not be called on or expected to take part. Meetings usually last about an hour.
