We also volunteer for service positions when they become available, keeping in mind that self-support isn’t just about money.

 

Similarly, to ensure D.A. continues to be available to us and to others, in addition to our monetary giving we contribute to D.A. through service. Our time and energy make a difference in carrying the message to the still-suffering compulsive debtor and maintaining a healthy program for existing members. If a member’s spending plan has little room for Seventh Tradition contributions, the member might consider stepping up his or her service work.

​

Functions and activities supported by Intergroups can include hosting fellowship days or workshops, updating area meeting lists, maintaining hotlines or information phone lines, creating and updating local D.A. websites, sending announcements of local D.A. activities, and distributing public information materials.
