Debtors Anonymous

Debtors Anonymous is for those whose lives are out of control with indebtedness and overspending.

Answer these following fifteen questions:
1. Are your debts making you unhappy?
2. Are they distractions?

3. Have they affected your reputation?
4. Have they affected your self esteem?
5. Have you lied in order to get credit?
6. Have you lied or make unreasonable promises to your creditors?
7. Are you careless with your family's welfare because of your debts?
8. Are you afraid of being exposed with your total indebtedness?
9. Is borrowing giving you a false sense of relief and pleasure?
10. Do you worry about your debts instreead of soundly resting?
11. Have you gotten drunk or taken drugs because of your debts?
12. Have you borrowed money without caring about the rate of interest you have to pay, or even paying the money back in general?
13. Are you certain a credit report will turn out adverse?
14. Have you fail to stick to a program of paying off your debts?
15. Do you justify your debts by a false sense of superiority and false hope about the future?

If a good number of those answers were yes's, then maybe DA will be a help for you. Like other 12 step programs, it is not for everyone. However, it may be well worth invetigating.

You have a good post over here by experience, it is hard to find AA meetings plus schedules in different States and there is no single site that lists all of the meetings, venues and schedules, except for sober.com. I’m not affiliated with this site, I just want recovering alcoholics out there to find a comprehensive list of AA meetings just in case you are relocating or searching for an AA meeting in your new place. For the complete list of AA meetings, here’s the link: http://sober.com/aa-alcoholic-anonymous-meetings.html
