As a fellowship of recovering addicts, Sex Addicts Anonymous offers a message of hope to anyone who suffers from sex addiction.

Through long and painful experience, we came to realize that we were powerless over our sexual thoughts and behaviors and that our preoccupation with sex was causing progressively severe adverse consequences for us, our families, and our friends. Despite many failed promises to ourselves and attempts to change, we discovered that we were unable to stop acting out sexually by ourselves.

Many of us came to this realization when we started attending SAA meetings. In that setting we heard stories similar to ours and realized that recovery from our problem was possible. We learned through the SAA Fellowship that we were not hopelessly defective.

The basic principles of recovery practiced by SAA are found in the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous. Although we are not affiliated with AA or with any other organization or agency, we are, indeed, grateful for permission to modify and apply the steps and traditions to sex addiction, making recovery possible for us.

Our New Website

Out with the Old; In with the New

The SAA message of recovery remains constant, and our website address is the same as our old home page (shown below), but we have a new look and enhanced content.

Our Former Website

We are pleased to offer this new website as a resource to anyone who seeks information about sex addiction or the recovery program of SAA. Here you will find basic information about SAA, how to find a local meeting, and how to contact us, if you cannot find what you need.
