Spiritually Sustainable Earning is earning that meets our emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual needs. As we work the Steps and apply the Tools in everything we do, our earning efforts come into alignment with our Higher Power’s will. As a result, we find ourselves living a prosperous life, wealthy in relationships and rich in experiences.
Please join us to hear from three D.A. members how spiritually sustainable earning has changed their lives.
The qualifications will be followed by Q & A / Open Sharing.
