If you are having problems with money and debt and think you may be a compulsive debtor, you have come to the right place. Debtors Anonymous can help you.
We offer face-to-face, telephone, and internet meetings throughout the Bay Area.
We suggest attending at least six meetings to have an opportunity to identify with the speakers and become familiar with DA, before deciding whether or not this program is for you. If you identify with some or all aspects of compulsive debting, we hope you will join us on the path of recovery
and find the peace, joy, and love that we have found in
Debtors Anonymous.

Dear Friends,
At the February meeting of Intergroup for Northern California Debtors Anonymous, I was elected to serve as Chair for the next two years.
I want to thank Mike C., the Outgoing Chair for his unwavering service over the past several years which I know will continue, albeit in new and interesting fulfilling ways. I have deep shoes to fill and it will only be through working the D.A. program and the support of my fellow Intergroup colleagues and the NorCal Fellowship as a whole that I will be able to contribute to advancing the primary purpose of NorCal Intergroup — to better serve our local area groups and members.
Since the pandemic, our local area groups have navigated uncharted waters by pivoting to virtual meetings. The silver lining in this technology paradigm has been an expansion in capacity to carry the message to other suffering debtors. With the desire for local area groups to go hybrid (in-person and virtual), Intergroup is in a good position to support local area groups in this transition.
Since returning to D.A. three years ago after incurring new unsecured debt, I have served as Treasurer for three solvent groups including Intergroup. This service has inspired me to better appreciate our beloved Seventh Tradition – Every D.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions – and to dive deeper into the D.A. Manual for Service. I will be focusing my activities as Chair the next two years on helping Intergroup to implement these strategic initiatives:
-
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
-
Inter-Meeting Communications & Collaborations
-
Community Outreach & Public Information
-
Intergroup Leadership Development
-
Technology Initiatives
I look forward to speaking with many of you as we collectively navigate the journey to abundant living through spiritual recovery and to stop debting one day at a time. I hope to see many of you at Spring Lights on April 27. I am truly blessed to be in a position to serve you.
With Heart,
Rick W., Chair,
