About us
We give you the most cordial welcome, and we invite you to read carefully the following information about the functioning of our group:
Emotional Anonymous is an association where we share our experiences, lived and overcome, or those they are in the process of doing so, to acquire strength, hope, and resolve our emotional problems.
We base ourselves on the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, but ours is focused on our emotions.
We do not wish to intervene in any controversy. We do not support or combat other causes. We are not health professionals; therefore, if you are undergoing any treatment, we respect that.
We maintain our operations with our own contributions of time, money, or effort, as we are a non-profit entity that all members support together. We do not belong to any political group, nor to any organization or institution.
Our purpose is to maintain our emotional stability and help others achieve serenity, so the only requirement is personal commitment and daily constancy. For this, it is necessary to attend the in-person groups in addition to supporting virtual meetings.
The recovery program is complemented by group integration, which is achieved little by little with participation in voluntary active service and encounters, which we call units.
If you decide to listen to the meeting, at the end we can answer your questions or doubts.

experiences / testimonials
“I have always been a skeptical person and I considered that just doing my part and with a few brushstrokes everything that worried me or that I was never able to assume, wasn't really a problem; but this was far from reality, because I use to minimize the problems and I didn’t knew how to deal with them, even if I believe that I did. The end result was that everytime I had to face a new problem, I felt down, unbalanced to the point that it also affected my loved ones. The group was very understanding towards me, they were empathetic and never judged me. Although at the beginning it was really hard for me, due to my own trust issues, because they were people who had lived what I had. They took me in and they gave me life through the manifest hope, making me realize throughout the program, that it was not my task to continue suffering, nor the the rest was the problem, but to accept that it was me, through my poorly guided emotions, the reason why I was at that low point of my life, but with patience and dedication my life would be different. Over time all the gifted experiences,
reassure me and lead me to the fact that I would not be alone in any situation that comes my way. By practicing the program, my life and the life of my loved ones will be different, like they always said “the best days are yet to come”.
“I was 43 years old the first time I came to the group. I didn't know myself back then, I had been hiding behind so many self-delusion layers, deep down I dislike myself a lot, but on the surface I pretend to be the happiest person alive. Regardless, the life inside me speaks by itself. I was dragging anguish, irrational fear and depression since i was a little girl, i had on my pocket two fails suicide attempts by the age of 15. I survived the physical death, but I was dying emotionally. I was barely surviving by pretending, demanding myself to find my own value in others, demanding attention, protection, love and acceptance from people in not healthy ways by all means. I know really well what self destruction is, I had experienced this many times in many different ways, unable to find any form of help or understanding from others, at least none that works for me, until I found EA. They welcomed me, and finally I heard from them what I always needed to hear: “We understand you, you are not alone anymore”. That was the seed to the beginning of a profound change of life, little by little. It's not easy, growth is painful, because I have to face myself, but I know this is the way to save myself. The group helps me to assume who I am, without judgment of how I feel or what I have done; EA accompanies me in my personal growth and at the same time teaches me how to take the responsibility of my life, no matter the fears.”
