Recovery in BDA

•  We learn to operate our business along spiritual lines and find that operating in integrity and being of service is profitable.

•  We accumulate cash reserves, pay our bills and employees on time, pay ourselves a regular salary with benefits and vacation time and build a thriving, prosperous, debt-free and financially solvent business.

•  We take responsibility for our business commitments and obligations and remember that we are in charge of the professionals who work for us.

•  We maintain clear and orderly financial records and eliminate unnecessary clutter.

•  We have clear knowledge of our overhead, operating expenses, pricing, profit, accounts receivable, accounts payable and all our assets and liabilities.

•  We have a business plan, and goals and visions for ourselves and our businesses.

•  We place all agreements in writing.

•  We budget our time realistically and focus our work time on generating revenue.

•  We value our goods and services and price them accordingly.

•  We maintain contact with our sponsors, pressure relief group and friends in the program, continue to attend DA and BDA meetings, and perform service in our recovery.

•  We are willing and able to ask for help when we need it and trust in the care and guidance of our higher power.

•  We are at peace with ourselves and allow our businesses to grow and expand harmoniously.
