THE TWELVE STEPS OF EMOTIONS ANONYMOUS
1. We admitted we were powerless over our emotions-that our lives had become unmanageable. 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity. 3. Made a decision o turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understand Him. 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. 5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs. 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character. 7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. 8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all. 9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message, and to practice these principles in all our affairs. The Twelve Promises of Emotions Anonymous 1. We realize a new freedom and happiness. 2. We do not regret the past or wish to shut the door on it. 3. We comprehend the word Serenity, and we know peace of mind. 4. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we see how our experience can benefit others. 5. The feelings of uselessness and self-pity lessen. 6. We have less concern about self and gain interest in others. 7. Self-seeking slips away. 8. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life changes. 9. Our relationships with other people improve. 10. We intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. 11. We acquire feeling of security within ourselves. 12. We realize that God is doing for us what we could not do ourselves. These may seem like extravagant promises, but we think not. They are being fulfilled among us, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.
