Join us for a fun panel-led workshop inspired by the experience, strength, and hope of four DA members who have successfully and joyfully gone through the car-purchasing or leasing process the DA way.
This workshop will demystify car-buying and leasing using the tools of the program and emotional sobriety. Then there will be a chance to share and the panel of fellows will answer your questions.

This Monday DA Workshop is a weekly gentle, dedicated space to slow down, and do the work together.
Building on the our Sunday DA Step Workshop, this meeting creates time and structure to complete all the Steps, implement DA tools, and turn insight into lived change. The focus is not urgency or perfection, but clarity, consistency, and spiritual alignment, so recovery can support our lives and our livelihoods.
Why Vision matters
In DA, Vision is the bridge between spiritual awakening and practical action. A clear, principle-based vision helps us:
Make cleaner decisions
Use our time and energy wisely
Reduce chaos, avoidance, and under-earning behaviors
Align actions with what actually matters
When Vision is clear, profitability increases naturally—not through pushing or self-abandonment, but through focus, follow-through, and right-sized action supported by Higher Power and community.
How the workshop works
Main room
Working inside the DA Study Guide, elaborating on questions and completing suggested action items
Vision work: clarifying and refining personal and business Vision so actions support income, sustainability, and peace of mind
Writing to God & listening to God (Two-Way Prayer)
Doing our numbers (writing down what spend and earn)
Organizing calendars in a way that’s calm, spacious, and sustainable—with breaks, white space, meetings, and self-care built in
Brain dumps to release overwhelm and cross off what we’re powerless over. Then distilling down what matters to you this year, this month, this week, and today. After that we simply place the action realistically on our calendar
Preparing for PRGs, creating spending plans, writing annual business plans, and implementing action plans
Optional breakout rooms
1:1 sharing of Fourth Step work (Fifth Step)
Reading and reflecting on Study Guide answers
Sharing or reading Two-Way Prayer writing with a trusted partner
Create/Connect with partners and create a network grounded in bookending
Listening is always welcome. Sharing is optional. You don’t need to have a sponsor or have everything figured out—just a willingness to show up and stay.
This workshop is one of the tools we will use to move out of isolation, strengthen our Vision, increase solvency and profitability, and live recovery with greater peace and serenity—one day at a time.
