The CMA App was designed to help members of the fellowship of Crystal Meth Anonymous to connect to meetings and to other addicts in the fellowship. The app will include a whole host of other useful CMA resources to help the addict in recovery. Some of the features include a sober/clean time calculator, a daily reading from CMA literature, and the ability to locate both meetings nearby and meetings online. The My Meetings feature allows you to keep your meeting lists close. Within the app you can listen to SoundCloud speaker recordings, pull up meeting readings and formats as well as CMA pamphlets. The app wil also connect you to the CMA website and allow you to make a Seventh Tradition donation and visit the CMA store. Our premium feature, Circles, allows members to create a circle of CMA friends by inviting others to join a group. Within the group members can chat, share gratitude lists, keep accountable, or just stay in touch. Circles can connect friends, sober families, meetings and service committees. Anyone can start a Circle and begin communicating with other sober crystal meth addicts.

About

Covalent

Read full description

Some things are easier with people who get it. Covalent matches you, by hand, with a small private circle of 4–6 people facing the same challenge you are. For 90 days, your circle is where you show up, say how it's really going and keep each other going. Covalent is not therapy, and we don't give advice. No diagnoses, no experts telling you what to do: just people going through the same thing, who listen and share what has helped them. Your circle forms around what you're going through: • Overcoming loneliness • Recovering from a breakup • Beating procrastination • Building discipline and habits • Getting back on track • Starting a business • Or simply making new friends who get you HOW IT WORKS 1. Tell us what you're going through, in your own words. No labels, no tests. 2. We read it and match you with people in a similar place who speak your language. 3. Talk as often as you like in a chat only your circle can see. YOUR CIRCLE • A private group chat with just 4–6 people, never a public feed • Kai, our guide, opens the conversation so nobody has to break the ice alone. Kai is written by the Covalent team: real people, not AI • Daily conversation prompts and quick polls to get everyone talking • Know when someone answers you, without the message showing on your lock screen • Circle streaks that grow when members show up for each other • Not clicking with your group? Ask within 10 days and we'll move you YOUR DIARY • A private page for what you're not ready to say out loud • Mark how the day felt and look back at how you've changed • Lock it with Face ID, so whoever holds your phone can't open it • A daily reminder at the time you choose YOUR PROGRESS • Earn avatars, frames and badges over your 90 days • Your badges are private unless you choose to show one SAFE BY DESIGN • Members are 18+ and use a username; your real name is never shown • Report any message or block any member in a couple of taps; our team reviews every report • Messages that share contact details or harass someone are held for review before the circle sees them • Crisis lines for your country, one tap away • No ads, no tracking, your data is never sold • Download your data or delete your account anytime, right in the app Covalent is peer support. It is not therapy or medical care, and it is not an emergency service. If you are in crisis, call your local emergency number or a crisis line in your country.
