Jealousy Anonymous 12 steps

Hello People
I have started a new group with an elaborate twelve step program to help completely eliminate jealousy from our lives.
I think it would work best in a group or with another person to keep the discipline of actually doing the exercises or following through with the steps in the program, in order to have the maximum benefit. We need to take action to help ourselves get out of our suffering and recover and heal.

Please find it at :

I look forward to having a read of it : )

Please remember you can not eliminate jealousy completely, its about getting it rational, not irrational where its at now.
jealousy is a human emotion the same as anger or sadness or happiness or fear etc

I hate that it keeps saying jealousy is a disease, it is not a disease, its an emotion. Just my opinion, or maybe I'm missing the point of what its trying to say?

thanks a lot Empathy...I agree its about bringing it to rational levels rather than be irrational.
I added a few questions in Step One that I had missed. Total of 6.

The program deals with the pattern of recurrent jealous like an emotional addiction. I guess thats why they call it a disease here, based on AA where alcoholism is called a disease.
But lets just take what makes sense to us...

I added a post about cataloging false alarms. If we see clearly how many of our feared threats do not exists, it might be easier to deal with another imaginary fear that comes up later. So we can learn to SEE your patterns more clearly.
Awareness is a key step to growth and healing...

thanks hugs and blessings

Empathy, the 'Overcoming Jealousy' book is pretty good. I am even asking my partner to read it. Its pretty non-judgmental and helpful. Thanks a TON for the suggestion!
