Co-Dependents Anonymous (CoDA) is a twelve-step program operating in 72 countries for people who share a common desire to develop functional and healthy relationships.[1][2][3] Co-Dependents Anonymous was founded by Ken and Mary Richardson and the first CoDA meeting attended by 30 people was held October 22, 1986 in Phoenix, Arizona.[3][4]

'...I had completed hundreds of evaluations for co-dependency on patients and family members and found a great many of these people were not adult children or friends, family members, or relatives of alcoholics.' [5]

Within four weeks there were 100 people and before the year was up there were 120 groups.[6] CoDA held its first National Service Conference the next year with 29 representatives from seven states.[3]Template:Rp[6] CoDA has stabilized at about a thousand meetings in the US, and with meetings active in 60 other countries and dozens online that can be reached at www.coda.org.[7]

CoDA meeting indexes managed independently[8] include:

Alternative Format VE (Virtual meetings) Australasia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Netherlands, South Africa, United Kingdom, France, other francophone countries
