About Debtors Anonymous

"Debtors Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from compulsive debting.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop incurring unsecured debt. There are no dues or fees for D.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions.

D.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes.

Our primary purpose is to stop debting one day at a time and to help other compulsive debtors to stop incurring unsecured debt."

Do DA Day: Hope in Action

A Report from a Member of Intergroup

(Reprinted from the Prosperity Times)

I am excited about the upcoming Do DA Day event at San Francisco State University. Last year I made a commitment to come to Do DA Day no matter what. I came alone and was very fretful about not knowing anyone. I almost backed out at the last minute. Once I got in the door, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. I immediately felt at home.

The day was abundant, from multiple topic meetings and wonderful DA speakers to treasure mapping workshops. The conference was a breath of fresh air and after so much healthy recovery, I immediately knew I had to deepen my commitment to DA.

As an artist in recovery, the treasure mapping workshops that went on throughout the day were especially helpful. Building a new and solvent vision is what I am learning in DA. Becoming an active member of the fellowship, working with my sponsor and now as a member of Intergroup, I have found that my first Do DA Day was hope in action. The hope, hospitality and recovery I found at Do DA Day bolstered my ability to work my own program and be of service to others.

Today I am helping to organize this year’s Do DA Day as a member of Intergroup. Events such as Do DA Day and Winter Lights would not be possible without the love, hope and service that comes from all DA members. Many DA members volunteer to make our conferences successful.

We truly can do together what we cannot do alone. This year, Intergroup voted to donate $1000.00 from the general service fund to World Service to celebrate DA’s 30th anniversary. This donation would not have been possible without local meeting contributions. Bay Area groups that have donated to Intergroup this year include several meetings in San Francisco, as well as meetings in Walnut Creek, Corte Madera, Oakland, Berkeley, San Rafael, Mountain View and Menlo Park. This is truly hope in action. Congratulations!

See you all at Do DA Day!
