Why Are We Here?

We are here because living by self-will alone stopped working. Many of us tried harder, learned more, and took on more responsibility, hoping that if we stayed vigilant enough, life would feel manageable. Instead, we became tired, anxious, and disconnected.

We are here because we discovered that the problem was not a lack of effort, but too much of it. We were trying to be the source of our own safety, worth, and direction. Carrying that weight left us restless and alone.

We are here to learn a different way of living. A way that does not require us to be right, in control, or constantly explaining ourselves. A way that allows us to rest in something larger than our own effort or understanding.

Egos Anonymous is a program of recovery from isolation and over-reliance on self-will. It offers a way to loosen the grip of control and to reconnect with others, with life, and with what many of us come to trust as God or a power greater than ourselves.

We do not promise quick relief or permanent certainty. What we offer is companionship, honesty, and a set of practices that have helped others live with less fear and more openness. We recover together by telling the truth, listening deeply, and practicing willingness.

We are here because we no longer want to carry life alone.
