Chronic Pain Anonymous Service Board of Trustees

VISION STATEMENT

All people affected by chronic pain or chronic illness will find help and recovery in every community. We define recovery as the ability to live peacefully, joyfully, and comfortably with ourselves and others.

MISSION STATEMENT

To invite all people living with chronic pain or chronic illness to accept the serenity to live one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, and viewing hardship as a pathway to peace. We trust that as we surrender to a Power greater than ourselves, we will find strength and an unfathomable peace.
