Here’s what one EA member had to say about monthly EAI support:

What’s the value of EA? I ask that question because if you’re going to make a donation, you’ll want to know if this is a wise investment. For me, it’s the wisest of all!!  Our world is struggling mentally, emotionally, and relationally. EA has shown repeatedly to be a fellowship with effective tools and a caring community of people committed to helping us deal well with our thoughts and feelings as we relate to our family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. I  encourage generous giving to EA!!  It’s making a difference in our world – in MY world. I’ll be giving, too! - Scott J.

If you can make a contribution now, please do so online, over the phone, or by mailing it to us at P.O. Box 4245 Saint Paul, MN 55104-0245 USA. Thank you!

This is the official website of Emotions Anonymous International (EAI).

EAI is a nonprofit organization that facilitates the Emotions Anonymous (EA) 12-Step Program by providing a central location for support group meeting information. EAI also offers EA-approved materials and other resources to help individuals improve their mental health and well-being. EAI's mission is to support individuals with emotional difficulties in their efforts to live more manageable lives. Many people have found their way to a more positive life experience by participating in this program. The program's foundational components include the 12 Steps, 12 Traditions, 12 Helpful Concepts, 12 Just for Todays, 12 Promises, 12 Slogans, and 12 Principles, which are derived and used with permission from AA. Individuals seeking help through the EA program come from all walks of life and levels of mental health status. This program can be beneficial for those in recovery from addiction but is applicable to anyone interested in improving their emotional well-being.

The main office of EAI is located in St. Paul, MN, USA. The EAI Board of Trustees is made up of members from around the world. EA-approved literature can be purchased through our online store. EAI sells pamphlets, workbooks, books, and merchandise. The staff and Board of Trustees develop and approve materials with input from EA members.

EAI is solely supported by member and group contributions and sales. We need your support! Please consider making a contribution.

No one except staff is allowed in the office at this time. You may pick up your order by placing it at least 24 hours prior to your pick-up date. Please provide an approximate pick-up time to assure that it is ready and staff is available to assist you. Keep in mind that EAI is closed on Fridays and weekends. Our building is now equipped with a security system, so you will need to call us upon arrival. Please meet the staff member at the door or wait in your car near the door wearing a face mask. Thank you!

If you or someone you know is experiencing a life-threatening mental health crisis, consider dialing 911 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). EA International is not a healthcare or religious organization. EAI is not a crisis hotline or warmline, staff are not counselors and do not have the training to handle emergencies. EAI does not provide psychiatric, therapeutic, medical services, or referrals to those services.

Monthly Reflections on the 12 Just For Todays

From the EAI Board

JUST FOR TODAY 6: I WILL TRY TO GO OUT OF MY WAY TO BE KIND TO SOMEONE I MEET. I WILL BE CONSIDERATE, TALK LOW, AND LOOK AS GOOD AS I CAN. I WILL NOT ENGAGE IN UNNECESSARY CRITICISM OR FINDING FAULT, NOR TRY TO IMPROVE OR REGULATE ANYBODY EXCEPT MYSELF.

"When I am in a hurry, or when I’m hungry, angry, lonely, or tired, this JFT seems like a mountain to climb. It helps me to remind myself that others are fellow travelers like me and that we’re all struggling with the pains of being human." — Colleen C., EAI Secretary
