12 Steps of EAA
DIR By: Emotional Anorectics Anon

---------------------------------------------------------
Here is a proposal for 12 steps modeled after other programs but
tailored to "Emotional Anorexia"
- I admitted that I am powerless over my compulsion to avoid and
suppress emotions and my pain has become unmanageable.
-
came to believe that a power greater than myself cares about me.
-
made a decision to ask God for guidance rather than relying
solely on myself.
-
made an exhaustive list of the significant emotional events of
my life. Good, bad, ugly.
-
admitted to myself, God, and another person the consequences of
avoiding and suppressing emotions
-
became willing to be a whole person who feels emotions in real
time.
-
humbly asked God to help me feel and remove my destructive
coping habits
-
made a list of those affected by my chronic dissociation
-
made amends with others when it was safe for both of us to do so
-
consider each day where I have avoided emotions and not been an
authentic human. I practice identification of feelings
throughout each day.
-
endeavor through prayer and reflection to know God, his
intentions for my emotions
-
when and where possible I share my emotional journey with others
