People struggling with their use of crystal methamphetamine (meth, speed, crystal, ice) sometimes find it helpful to get support from others trying to beat their addiction. Some people find support in Crystal Meth Anonymous (CMA), a 12 step group. CMA is a fellowship of men and women for whom all drugs, especially crystal meth, were a problem. They come together in a shared experience to help each other recover their addiction. The meetings are open to anyone with a desire to stop using. You can find a meeting in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
