Submit Recovery Stories

You may be looking for general literature submissions and guidelines or The Outer Circle submissions and guidelines.

Use the form below to submit stories for consideration in upcoming editions of the Green Book (Sex Addicts Anonymous).

Stories not used in the Green Book may be used for other publications.

Guidelines

It remains true that a recovery story usually includes three sections: how it was, what happened, and how it is now. A good story has various combinations of these three, but not “how it was” by itself, in other words, the story of active addiction.

We encourage authors to also offer their experiences in recovery: how the Steps have affected their lives, details of how they work the program, accounts of groups, sponsorship, and service. Any insights gained from living a program are more than welcome.

This is not a literary exercise. It’s simply writing down experience, strength, and hope through the SAA program, and there’s no need to worry about spelling, grammar, or style. The proofreading and editing will not change your voice or your message.
