“The Seventh Tradition ensures that other influences or organizations, however well-meaning, never interfere with our primary purpose. By declining outside contributions, we are free to focus on carrying the SAA message, and that message only.”
— Sex Addicts Anonymous, page 87
Our Seventh Tradition holds that SAA ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
Our Third Tradition States, “The only requirement for SAA membership is a desire to stop addictive sexual behavior.“ Please do not send a contribution unless you are a member according to this tradition!
From the numerous Public Information and Cooperation with the Professional Community (PI/CPC) projects to redesigning our meeting search, your donations will help support vital projects!
We can and must do more to reach suffering sex addicts!
How Will the Funds be Used?
To expand Public Information (outreach) projects so more groups can attend professional conferences, send mailings, and provide information via the internet, etc.
To implement SAA Connect — a new website that will help share recovery resources across the fellowship.
To upgrade the ISO office technology needed to serve a growing fellowship
We can and must do more to reach suffering sex addicts!
Established on the basis of the Traditions of SAA and supported predominantly by Seventh Tradition contributions, the ISO of SAA provides information, resources, and other services for the SAA Fellowship. It also serves as a point of first contact and referral for sex addicts, concerned family members, and friends. As the demand for services increases, the need for support of the ISO is greater than ever.
If you have received the gift of recovery, you can support the ISO as part of your Twelfth Step work – a tangible way you can help carry the message to other sex addicts who seek recovery.
