Product Description

First publication by the Debtors Anonymous 12 Step Fellowship. It describes the basics of the D.A. recovery program and includes 38 success stories of D.A. members. It offers experience, strength, and hope to help other compulsive debtors and all those who want to stop incurring unsecured debt, such as credit cards, unsecured loans, personal loans, unpaid taxes, and more.


From the Publisher

Debtors Anonymous acts as its own publisher, so the voice of the Fellowship can best explain the purpose, meaning, and message of A Currency of Hope.

The Foreword to A Currency of Hope

We, the men and women of Debtors Anonymous, come together to solve our common problem of compulsive debting. We share our experience, strength, and hope with one another to arrest the disease of debting. We have found compulsive debting to be a painful, confusing, and destructive disorder. Compulsive debting takes many forms from incurring unsecured debt to compulsive shopping, from grandiose thinking to poverty/not enough mentality. All these forms of debting seriously affect our quality of life—financially, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, physically, and socially.

As members of Debtors Anonymous, we have chosen a spiritual path of healing and growth which requires working the “Twelve Steps” and using the “Twelve Tools of DA.” They are the foundation of our recovery process. As a result of beginning this recovery process, we have been able to achieve solvency and prosperity; we are beginning to understand ourselves and form genuine loving connections with others and discover a relationship with a Higher Power of our own choice.

We have created this recovery book to share our Program with other compulsive debtors so that they might understand what we have come to know about debting and experience the relief we have found. The stories we have gathered are a collection of members’ experiences with debting which share: “What it was like for them, What happened, How they changed, and What it is like now…”

We hope that if you identify with some, or all, aspects of compulsive debting, you will join us on the path to recovery and find the peace, joy, love and financial solvency that are here for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational & Practical, August 23, 2001
By A Customer
This book gives both practical information on a very popular and much needed self help program, Debtors Anonymous. The contributors tell their stories of hope and inspiration of what led them to get into debt and how they got out of debt. It also gives many suggesions for folks who are 'underearners.' People who underachieve and don't earn enough to live on or don't earn up to their potential. HIghly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hope and inspiration PLUS ideas, July 28, 2001
By A Customer
A truly remarkable book full of hope and inspiration for anyone who is in debt and wants to get out. The stories of how others have done it offer so much encouragement while providing practical ideas to make the day to day decisions easier. It's full of examples of how reversing the debting dilemma changes other areas of one's life. A must read if you feel hopeless and helpless about your financial situation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bringing hope for people with debt and money problems, June 13, 2001
By "carladj" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This program and this book changes peoples lives! It gives the reader inspiring stories of hope from people recovering from debt problems, bankruptcies, compulsive spending, and living in deprivation. The moving accounts of people turning their financial lives around in the context of this 12-step program truly shows how we can recover from compulsive debting. I have read this book numerous times and each time I am given another gift of hope. If you can't get to a Debtors Anonymous meeting, this is the best resource for you. Excellent!!
