Georgia Area
The Early Days of Georgia Area of C.A.
The first Atlanta Area meeting of Cocaine Anonymous happened Monday, August 1st at 8:00 p.m. at St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church, 4755 North Peachtree Road in Dunwoody. (The Atlanta Constitution, Thursday, July 28, 1983, Main Edition, p. 120)
According to Leon K. (an early 1984 CA Member of Atlanta, Georgia), said that “Dock” (his nickname) Crandall who was originally from A.A. brought C.A. from California to Atlanta, Georgia in August of 1983 because many of his prospects were “cocaine junkies.” At first Atlanta, Georgia made their own sobriety chips from 1985 to 1986. When Georgia was ratified as an Area at the 1st World Conference Feb. 8,9, 1986, it was agreed that they would buy their sobriety chips from World Services in L.A.
Leon K., says “Dock” was killed accidentally on a 12 Step call to one of his sponsees who had relapsed and was going to commit suicide with a shotgun. “Dock” tried to intervene and the shotgun accidentally discharged killing “Dock.”
Recognized as an Area at the February 8, 9, 1986, 1st World Services Conference, San Diego, California and was one of 16 C.A. Areas represented at the 1st World Services Conference.
The Georgia Area hosted the 12th Annual World Convention: 12 Years/12 Steps: May 24, 25, 26, 27, 1996 and will host the 37th World Convention in Atlanta, Georgia in 2023.
