When possible, we organise a Pressure Relief Group consisting of ourselves and two other recovering debtors who have not incurred unsecured debt for at least 90 days and who usually have more experience in the program. The group meets in a series of Pressure Relief Meetings to review our financial situation. These meetings typically result in the formulation of a spending plan and an action plan.

STEP ONE Prayer I pray now for the willingness to be honest about where I am, to share with those in the D.A. program, and to ask for help to move forward. Guide me through this darkness and shine a light on the next step I should take. I am listening.
STEP TWO Prayer Higher Power, reveal yourself to me. Where I am afraid, bring me your comfort. Where I am angry, send me your peace. Where I am uncertain, bring me clarity. Thank you for loving me as I am now. I ask you to do for me what I cannot do for myself. I ask you to do for me what I cannot do for myself. Give me the strength I need to move forward.
STEP THREE Prayer
Higher Power, I stand before you ready to be transformed. I place myself in your hands. Guide me on my recovery path. Remove my compulsive debting, my self-centred fear, and my own self will. May I shine to others as a beacon of your power.
May I choose to remain on your path always.
