Growing up, I learned to do some routine things well through practice - like cleaning the house, cooking and Emotions Anonymous bills - so that Emotions Anonymous, I intuitively know what will work well and what won't. To intuitively handle situations I couldn't before, I have had to practice the program in the same way I practiced those routine tasks.

When it came to my emotional needs, Emotions Anonymous was poorly lacking. I would run, run, and run without resting. Today I rest; I take a break. I also know how to ask for what I need.

I know how to be patient and wait and also how to occupy myself while I'm waiting to not even feel like I'm waiting. I've found things of interest. Before, Emotions Anonymous was just interested in eating to deal with all of my emotions, that was how I handled the situation. We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us. I love that promise along with the other several hundred promises! Keep coming back! If you get a small portion of what I have received you'll be doing great; but don't stop Emotions Anonymous I find that life has always been baffling to me on a number of fronts.

  • What Are “Twelve-Step” Programs?
    What are “Twelve-Step” Programs? Traditional Twelve-Step programs outline a course of action for recovering from an addiction whereby participants proceed through twelve core developmental stages. Twelve-Step programs are a form of self-help in which members of a fellowship struggling with the same problem support each other. The Twelve-Step program originated with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) (http://aa.org). According to AA, the twelve steps are as follows: (1) We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—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 to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood 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 tomake 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 the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

    SABINO RECOVERY PURPOSE & MISSION PURPOSE The soul of Sabino Recovery is our dedicated and compassionate staff. We are committed to providing a place of trust and safety for the restoration of hope and healing of our residents. At our core, we are accountable to our higher power, ourselves, our community, and our mission. MISSION We comprehensively treat trauma and addictions with an engaged and highly trained staff, resulting in an effective therapeutic alliance. We optimize healing by empowering our residents to make positive changes and by providing holistic, integrated, and strength-based treatments. THE SABINO MODEL The Sabino Model of Trauma Recovery acknowledges that what happened in childhood or adult life may cause one to behave irrationally in the present, exhibit over-reactive and/or under-reactive responses, and even catastrophize the future. Trauma and resulting PTSD is a normal reaction to an abnormal experience. By treating the core issues of trauma such as traumatic grief, traumatic shame and attachment failure, the root of the presenting problem is attended to and the individual is less likely to relapse, continue to feel depression, anxiety or have a need to medicate emotions with unhealthy behaviors. The model purports that if trauma issues are fully addressed then resulting symptoms also diminish, as the symptoms represent results of traumatic experience. One example of the theory is an individual receiving treatment for skin cancer. If the Doctor removes the lesion on the surface, it will look fine and may appear cured for a bit of time. The skin cancer will eventually return because the Doctor never attended to the root of the cancer growth.

  • List of 12-Step Groups (And Other Groups That Adapt the 12-Steps Or Use "Anonymous" Or Have Adapted the Steps in Different Ways to Different Issues)
    Some people want THE list and proclaim it as such in media. But people are always starting and adapting groups that meet their needs. So please understand this is a very rough draft list of 12-Step groups (and other groups that adapt the 12-steps or use "anonymous" or have adapted the steps in different ways to different issues). Please note that the figures on the numbers of local groups are a rough approximation (primarily from 1997 data – so it's old!). Contact information on most groups, but not all, are on a website database at www.selfhelpgroups.org. They welcome any corrections and especially any additions at [email protected]. (Understand that people are always starting new groups, e.g., Pathways to Peace [www.pathwaystopeaceinc.com] for anger management, which was started by 12-Step people, but adapts only part of the Twelve Step program. Pathways to Peace Groups started first in NY State (6 groups), but after interest from Cleveland, there are now 4 groups meeting there. Nowhere else yet.) 12-Step Groups: Alcoholics Anonymous (international - 94,000 groups) Al-Anon Family Groups (international - 32,000+ groups) Alateen (international - part of Al-Anon Family Groups - 4,100+ groups) Abuse Alternatives Anonymous (1 group in Westchester, NY) ACOA - Adult Children of Alcoholics (international - 1,700+ groups) Adult Children of Sexual Abuse (4 groups in Florida) Adult Children of Sexual Dysfunction (several groups in Minnesota) Anesthetists in Recovery (national) ARTS Anonymous (Artists Recovering thru Twelve Steps, creativity,
