The Promises of Debtors Anonymous
"It works if you work it!"
In the program of Debtors Anonymous, we come together to
share our experience, strength and hope so that we may recover from the
disease of compulsive debting. When we work DA's
Twelve Steps and use the DA Tools, we
begin to receive these gifts of the program:
- Where once we felt despair, we will
experience a newfound hope.
- Clarity will replace vagueness; we
will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.
- We will live within our means, yet
our means will not define us.
- We will begin to live a prosperous
life, unencumbered by fear, worry, resentment, or debt.
- We will realize that we are enough;
we will value ourselves and our contributions
- Isolation will give way to
fellowship; faith will displace fear.
- We will recognize that there is
enough; our resources will be generous and we will share them with
others and with DA
- We will cease to compare ourselves
to others; jealousy and envy will fade.
- Acceptance and gratitude will
replace regret, self-pity and longing.
- We will no longer fear the truth; we
will move from hiding in denial to living in reality.
- Honesty will guide our actions
toward a rich life filled with meaning and purpose.
- We will recognize a Power Greater
than ourselves as the source of our abundance; we realize that God is
doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not; they are
well within our means. When we work this program with integrity and to
the best of our ability, one day at a time, a life of prosperity and
serenity will be ours.
