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.
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 D.A. 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.”
