 From Vision to Action, Staying with the Work in DA

🌱

Mondays | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM PST | Zoom

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.
