DA Service Structure

Members of Debtors Anonymous find relief by working the DA recovery program based on the Twelve Steps, Twelve Traditions, and Twelve Tools of Debtors Anonymous. The Eleventh Tool of Debtors Anonymous reads, “We perform service at every level: personal, meeting, Intergroup, and World Service. Service is vital to our recovery. Only through service can we give to others what so generously has been given to us.”

What can you do in Service in DA?

DA has many opportunities for service at various levels. DA recommends reading the Debtors Anonymous Service Pamphlet, then starting service at the local level, in your home group. Once you have an idea of your available time and talents, you may wish to branch to the next level of service at your intergroup, area, region, and finally at the DA world level. Ways you can get involved at the local group level include.

• Bring a friend to a meeting
• Set-up and break down the meeting
• Speak at a meeting, share your experience, strength and hope.
• Welcome newcomers, give them your phone number
• Say yes to service and grow in DA.
• Be Secretary or Chairperson of a Group/Meeting
• Be a Sponsor in DA
• Volunteer in the Intergroup Office
• Volunteer to bring an H&I meeting into a hospital of institution
• Answer phones to be there for a struggling addict and/or their loved ones
