Business Debtors Anonymous (BDA) in the UK.

Search AA, NA and other UK recovery meetings by postcode, town, or fellowship, in person or online. No sign-up. No tracking of who you are. Just the door, the time, and how to get there.

This page explains BDA, how it differs from a general DA meeting, and points you to some of the meetings that carry the focus. Like all DA meetings it is free and anonymous, and you are welcome to listen.

Business Debtors Anonymous (BDA)

BDA is for people who own a business or are self-employed, where debting and money trouble are tied up with the work itself.

The tools are the same as DA, a spending record, pressure relief groups, and no new unsecured debt, but the conversation is about business income, pricing, paying yourself, and the particular pressures of working for yourself.

General DA meetings

Most DA meetings are open to anyone debting, whether or not they run a business. If you are not sure, a general DA meeting is a fine place to start, and members will point you to BDA if it fits.

A note on Underearners Anonymous

People often confuse DA with Underearners Anonymous (UA), which focuses on under-earning and under-using your abilities. UA is a separate fellowship with its own meetings. 12stepfinder lists DA; for UA, see its own website.
