Service
|
We perform service at every level: personal, meeting, Intergroup, and World Service. Service is vital to our recovery.
Carrying the message to the compulsive debtor, spender and underearner who still suffers is the basic purpose of our Fellowship and therefore the most fundamental form of service. Any service, no matter how small, that will help reach a fellow sufferer adds to the quality of our own recovery. Putting away chairs, making coffee, talking to newcomers, doing whatever needs to be done in a group or for DA as a whole are ways in which we give back what we have so generously been given. Do what you can when you can. “A life of sane and happy usefulness” is what we are promised as the result of working the twelve steps. Service fulfills that promise. Always to extend the hand and heart of DA to all who share my compulsion: for this, I am responsible. Those of us working the HOW Concept also believe that our greatest service is abstinence. |
