Meeting Schedule

What is a COSA meeting? A COSA meeting provides a structured format (usually for one hour) in which to share readings, resources, and our stories in empathetic, respectful, non-judgmental surroundings. Less structured time is usually available after each meeting for an exchange of questions and answers.

Here are all the meetings we have for COSAs. If you want to attend a meeting you need to email the organizer.

How to Start a New Meeting in the COSA Zoom Room

Meetings are created to honor the COSA Fifth Tradition, “Each group has but one primary purpose– to carry its message to those who still suffer. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps ourselves.”

Each COSA meeting is autonomous. Following our Fourth Tradition, meeting names, times and topics may be chosen by group conscience.

We gently suggest that Trusted Servants have completed their Fifth Step and have an active sponsor.

When seeking to start a new meeting in the COSA Zoom Room (CZR) we ask that you complete the following steps:

Step One:

Send a request to the CZR Intergroup cosazoomroom@gmail.com by the 2nd Wednesday of the month.

New meeting requests are reviewed once per month by Intergroup members.

Include the following information:

We request use of a ZoomRoom for a new [daily/weekly/monthly/other] meeting.
This will be a [topic/step study/HIR/meditation/literature review/other] type of meeting.
The name we have chosen for the meeting is: [meeting name]
We would like to hold our first meeting at [time and timezone] on Day, Month, Date, Year.
The meeting is proposed by the following members: [names]
Intergroup member to represent meeting: [name]

Step Two:

After the CZR Intergroup has approved the meeting, register the meeting with the ISO of COSA https://cosa-recovery.org/meetings/register-a-cosa-meeting/

When prompted for the email address of the meeting, we recommend you use cosazoomroom@yahoo.com but it is not required to do so.

Step Three:

After the meeting has been registered with the ISO of COSA, email the registration form to the CZR Intergroup at cosazoomroom@yahoo.com that includes the official Meeting Number.

Step Four:

Email an announcement of the new meeting details to cosasintheknow@gmail.com for inclusion in the next COSAs in the Know email campaign. This will help spread awareness of the new meeting to the COSA fellowship.
