In the closing section of our weekly meeting, BDA Sydney go around the virtual room to declare a personal 'action step' for the coming week to aid our Recovery. A group member has created his own resource to assist keep an inventory of actions, and has shared it here with the group.

Every D.A. and B.D.A. Group or Meeting has a Service Position of Treasurer as outlined in the DA Manual Of Service. There can be a Co-Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer to share this specific workload as it is key in the health of the meeting's operations.

B.D.A. Sydney currently has three Treasurers in these service positions, whom have created a google sheet template from the instructions within the D.A. Treasurer's Manual  as a FREE DOWNLOAD for use by other group Treasurers.

"We write annual one-year business plans with definable and accountable goals and targets." 

B.D.A. Sydney currently has two Co-Treasurers and an Assistant Treasurer in this Service Office, with 3 additional signatories as financial oversight. The Treasurers meet once a month to learn and apply the D.A. Treasurer's Manual , the BDA Tools, and other c-a literature. As the result of the  February Treasurer's meeting, and an outcome of February's group study of BDA Tool 2, a meeting annual plan is being put forward to our meeting's Group Conscience as a suggestion. It contains "definable and accountable goals and targets", a meeting annual calendar was created  as part of that Business Plan, link below.

Spiritually Sustainable Earning is earning that meets our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual needs in alignment with our Higher Power’s will for us.  This is a 'movement' within the fellowship that supports both D.A. and B.D.A. fellows alike and is represented at WSC by a Caucus. 

When we first come to D.A. we may feel that if we only earned more money, all our problems would be solved. In D.A. we learn that it’s not really about the money, it’s about the quality of our life and our relationship with our Higher Power. We come to realize that our work life is out of balance. As we work the Steps and apply the Tools, our earning efforts come into alignment with our Higher Power’s will. We discover that we can be of service regardless of what kind of work we are doing. It can be the vision job or the ‘B’ job. 

Spiritually sustainable earning gives us the opportunity to become the person our Higher Power wants us to be. It is about the journey, not the destination, about applying the 12 Steps and 12 Tools in everything we do. As a result, we find ourselves living a prosperous life, wealthy in relationships and rich in experiences.  

As we say in the DA Promises, “All this and more is possible. 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.”
