STEP 12 EMOTIONS ANONYMOUS (Carry This Message)


Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

 Excerpts from the book "Emotions Anonymous"

(Pg 79 -80) Carry This Message:

"....We share our stories - what we used to be like, what happened as we worked the steps, and how we have changed....By sharing we can more clearly see all the changes we have made and realise other ways to apply these principles in our lives. This strengthens our commitment to use the program. We share our experience, strength, and hope with people to give them the opportunity to change their lives by this avenue of recovery."

"Some of us, in our enthusiasm and excitement early in our recovery, try to get everyone we know to join EA........People are usually not receptive if we try to preach the program, and, as we gain experience in carrying the message.....we realize how arrogant it is to think we should point out to others their need for this program....far better for us to share the program with those who want it....than those we think need it....Carrying the message is part of our recovery, it is not about saving other people.....We need to remember that the efforts are ours, the results come from God."

"We find many ways to do twelfth-step work. One important way is by example. We demonstrate that this program works through what we do in our lives......."
