The first C.A. Group appear in in the Colorado Area was, December of 1983 – nameless at the time, in Mercy Hospital. In 1984 Nirvana (originally called meeting number 1) was the first group with a name and held meetings in a counseling center. The Area was ratified at Conference—August 11, 1988 at time when there were 4 Groups and 1 District. Donald Y. was the first Colorado Delegate who attended the 1988 World Conference.

Originally part of the Pacific North Region, Charles S. (1990 World Conference, Colorado Delegate) presented a PETITION FOR COLORADO TO CHANGE REGIONAL AFFILIATION FROM THE PACIFIC NORTH TO THE SOUTHWEST. This motion passed, August 29, 1990 at he World Conference.

Colorado Area has 1 District and more than 40 Groups.
