worldwide
A small, internationally-affiliated Twelve-Step support group for people who seek recovery from their emotional difficulties and want to become well emotionally. A safe, anonymous, respectful environment stressing self-worth, self-knowledge and self-care. As our Concepts suggest, we aim for an atmosphere of love and acceptance. EA was formed by a group of individuals who found a new way of life by working the program of Alcoholics Anonymous, as adapted for people with emotional problems.
We invite you to discover that our EA fellowship of weekly meetings is warm and friendly, and that it is important to us all for achieving and maintaining emotional health. We do it one hour at a time because ours is a twenty-four hour program. You are not alone unless you choose to be!
There are two Winston-Salem meetings: Mondays from 12:30 - 1:30 and Wednesdays from 7:30 - 9:00PM. The meetings are independent of one another, though some members attend both. Meetings are held at the Augsburg Lutheran Church. Our Monday meeting is smaller and more informal. Newcomers are always welcome, and our meetings are open to all.
A Greensboro EA meeting is held Mondays from 6:15 - 7:15PM at First Lutheran Church on Friendly Ave. Newcomers are always welcome here too.

Just for Today - The Choice is Mine
1. Just for today I will try to live
through this day only, not tackling all of my problems at once. I can do something at this
moment that would discourage me if I had to continue it for a lifetime.
2. Just for today I will try to be happy, realizing my happiness does not
depend on what others do or say or what happens around me. Happiness is a result of being
at peace with myself.
3. Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is and not force
everything to adjust to my own desires. I will accept my family, my friends, my business,
my circumstances as they come.
4. Just for today I will take care of my physical health; I will exercise
my mind; I will read something spiritual.
5. Just for today I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. If
anyone knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least one thing I don't want to do,
and I will perform some small act of love for my neighbor
6. Just for today 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.
7. Just for today I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I
will have it. I will save myself from two pests - hurry and indecision.
8. Just for today I will stop saying, "If I had time." I never
will find time for anything. If I want time, I must take it.
9. Just for today I will have a quiet time of meditation wherein I shall
think of my Higher Power, of myself, and of my neighbor. I shall relax and seek truth.
10. Just for today I shall be unafraid. Particularly, I shall be unafraid to be
happy, to enjoy what is good, what is beautiful, and what is lovely in life.
11. Just for today I will not compare myself with others. I will accept myself
and live to the best of my ability.
12. Just for today I choose to believe that I can live this one day.
The choice is mine.
