The Emotions Anonymous 12-step fellowship is composed of people who come together in weekly meetings for the purpose of working toward recovery from emotional difficulties. EA members are from many walks of life and are of diverse ages, economic statuses, social and educational backgrounds. The only requirement for membership is a desire to become well emotionally.
There is currently one in-person meeting in the Southeast Michigan area on Thursdays at 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm (90 minutes) located in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. Additionally, there are three weekly Zoom meetings and an informal drop-in chat for membership fellowship.
The address for the Thursday In-Person Meeting is located at:
St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church
375 Lothrop Rd.
2nd Floor — Jerusalem Room
Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236
Please call or text Rosemary H. at (586) 943-7629 in advance to ensure the meeting is being held. She can answer any questions you might have and provide you with some literature via email.
As mentioned there are three Zoom Emotions Anonymous meetings on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. There is also a time of fellowship on Friday.
Here is some of the information for the three Zoom meetings plus fellowship, but please call or text for the Meeting ID’s and Passcodes.
-
SUNDAY 2:30 pm — 4:00 pm (90 minutes) a regular meeting with sharing focused on the step or topic we had read the previous Wednesday.
-
TUESDAY 7:00 pm — 8:30 pm (90 minutes) a regular meeting with sharing focused on the step or topic we had read the previous Wednesday.
-
WEDNESDAY 9:00 pm — 10:00 pm (60 minutes) Reading a step a week from How It Works Form #61 which is the crux of the Emotions Anonymous Big Book. It is simply reading/listening, not a formal meeting. After Steps 5, 9 and 12 we will have a topic meeting. You do not need the form or book as the readings can be visible within Zoom. The step or topic reading will be one week before the step or topic shared on the Sunday 2:30 pm ET and Tuesday 7:00 pm ET Zoom meetings.
-
FRIDAY 8:00 pm — Midnight Not a regular meeting. Drop-in for a few minutes or a few hours. Just a time to chat, if you're having a difficult time or to catch up with other members; a time of fellowship since members are spread across the United States, Canada and Europe.
Meetings are in Eastern Time (we are located in Michigan). Adjust accordingly if in a different time zone. Each meeting has a different Meeting ID and Passcode, but those stay the same for each day from week-to-week. (Sunday stays the same for Sunday, Tuesday for Tuesday, Wednesday for Wednesday and Friday for Friday).
The meeting room opens 30 minutes early for audio/video checks and to properly welcome newcomers on Sunday and Tuesday. It opens 10 Minutes ahead on Wednesday. We would appreciate newcomers arriving 5-10 minutes early for the first meeting. Friday opens right at 8:00 pm.
The Sunday and Tuesday Zoom meetings last approximately 90 minutes long (as opposed to other Anonymous meetings which last 1 hour). We tend to get between 15 to 20 people at those two meetings. The Wednesday reading is 60 minutes or less. We tend to get 10 to 12 people. Please be prompt/on time as a waiting room may be set up and members could possibly be turned away depending on how many people are in the room and/or how late the member is.
