EMOTIONS ANONYMOUS

 


EMOTIONS ANONYMOUS is a Twelve Step program for people whose emotions are causing difficulties in their lives. Emotions Anonymous is based on the same program introduced and used by Alcoholics Anonymous. If your emotions, such as

    depression

    anxiety

    fear

    loneliness

    anger

    compulsions

    obsessions

are causing problems in your life, perhaps Emotions Anonymous can help.

 

There are approximately 400 meetings of Emotions Anonymous in the United States and 100 meetings in Canada. The official anniversary of Emotions Anonymous is July 6, 1971. An international conference is held annually (typically in September) where members throughout the world meet to celebrate their recovery through the Twelve Step way of living offered in Emotions Anonymous. The 2007 convention was held September 7-9, 2007 in Peabody, Massachusetts.  The 2008 convention will be held September 19-21, 2008 in Romulus, Michigan (outside of Detroit). 

 
 

There are no dues or fees for Emotions Anonymous membership; Emotions Anonymous meetings are self-supporting by voluntary contributions of its members. Emotions Anonymous is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution, nor does it endorse or oppose any causes. The primary purpose of Emotions Anonymous is to show its members how to stay well emotionally and how to help others to become emotionally well.
