Description

The basic text of the SAA fellowship, Sex Addicts Anonymous explains sex addiction from the SAA perspective and demonstrates, through examples, how sex addiction worsens over time. It describes the personal powerlessness and unmanageability of sex addiction, and the damage to personal relationships, livelihood, and physical health that is often caused by addictive behavior.  Sex Addicts Anonymous conveys a vision of hope for the addict through a recovery program based on the time-honored show more Twelve Steps that were initially proposed for alcoholics. A separate section of the book offers a variety of personal stories from individual members of the fellowship to illustrate the challenges and the hope of recovery.   show less

First words
Before coming to Sex Addicts Anonymous, many of us never knew that our problem had a name.
Quotations
It takes some courage to show up at our first meetings. We may fear being recognized at a meeting by someone we know. This can be awkward, but it’s helpful to remember that when we acted out, we risked consequences greater ... (show all)than any embarrassment we might experience at a meeting. Eventually, discomfort gives way to a sense of belonging and a feeling of relief that there are others like us.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)I love this program! It works.
