       ---------------------------------------------------------
       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
