hi, i'm POME (powerless over my emotions) & i am POOP (powerless over other people)! i am loving the fellowship of EA and what i'm learning in this 12 step program! i'm growing so much in it. i have an awesome sponsor & have found my home sweet home in this program, no doubt!

for more info see: http://emotionsanonymous.org

there are meetings online at http://eachat.webs.com/ daily at 6pm PST/9pm EST/Midnight GMT & an extra 5pm PST/8pm EST/11pm GMT meeting on Wednesday's. You will need to register. It's free. Based on a group consensus, we all go by our first names vs. a chosen username out of respect to all there using theirs. ie. I am there as Lis.

i am also highly considering starting up some Skype EA Meetings. PM me if you are interested.

I am sorry you feel POOP, but that is life. :O)

it is part of that path of this universe. Each person has personal power to
be a cool gent or a cold jerk.
EA, or any 12 step, or any program is only as good as the people in it,
enjoy your stay, it is not 'the' program you are loving but the
people guided by okay precepts, that are great. Any system can
go hinkey. so don't be too hurt when you are mistreated within that or
any system, or program.

I agree, EA is pretty nice and I am getting some benefit from it as well.
wish that that EA group I go to could coach the other 12 step groups to
follow their example.

no i AM POOP. i NEVER have power over others...as much as i try to. i love the 12 step program as a whole (originating of course, from AA bill w.) and when i work it, my life works better.

The local EA meetings are not possible for me to get to. Is there an online forum? I notice from the links above that there are online meetings at particular times. A forum would be nice...

I don't have skype, but would be interested in starting an EA online support forum AT Psych Central. What do you think? I need good old fashioned technology like a regular forum. The local EA does not have a telephone number I can call, but I have written to see if anybody can give me a ride to meetings.

Oh...it religious base. God and prayer.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
Thanks for this!

Excellent point! I to agree with how systems are places to begin....

it really has a lot to do with the dynamics of how we treat one another.
There aren't a lot of EA groups here, it would be helpful though.

Inculcating powerlessness is a horrible thing, IMO.
