Crystal Meth Anonymous traces its routes to the Los Angeles area 30 years ago. CMA was founded In 1994, by Bill C., a recovering crystal meth addict 16 years sober in A.A. Bill recalled that many of the secretaries of existing 12-step meetings did not like the shares of the crystal meth addicts and were therefore reluctant to call on them. Bill maintained that there ought to be a place for these people to share. Attended by 13 people, the first meeting of Crystal Meth Anonymous was held September 16th, 1994, @ 9:45 pm at the West Hollywood Alcohol and Drug Center in West Hollywood, CA.
