Have Questions?
Is there hope?
Yes, there is hope! Many of us were in your situation or a situation like yours and we came to SAA® to discover there is hope and a solution.
Can I recover?
Yes! Rarely have we seen people not make progress in their recovery if they work the program and take action by working the 12 steps with a sponsor. There is hope and a solution!
Where do I start?
How do I know I am addicted to pornography or sex?
Cost of Meetings?
Free! All of our meetings are free. Donations are suggested but not required. We do conduct a collection to cover our on-going expenses (this website, literature, rent, and support for our international organization).
Appointments or preparation?
Meetings do not require an appointment or preparation. You can simply show up. We suggest arriving on time but that is not required. No preparation is required.
Confidentiality and anonymity?
Anonymity is in our name (Sex Addicts Anonymous®). We practice strict anonymity and confidentiality, so our meetings are safe for all of us. We use first names only and there is no requirement to share information. Newcomers to our program are welcome. You will find peer support and an open and non-judgmental atmosphere.
Can SAA help me?
We suggest you attend at least 6 or more meetings before deciding if SAA® is right for you. Newcomers to our program will find an open, non-judgmental, and supportive fellowship. We practice strict anonymity so our meeting are safe for all of us. We provide meetings, resources, and peer support to live a new life in recovery. Only you know what can help you.
Attendance of non sex addicts?
At this time, all our meetings are for sex addicts or those that might think they are sex addicts. There are other open meetings for non-sex addicts. They can be found here: https://meetings.saa-recovery.org/
What is Sobriety?
Sex Addicts Anonymous does not have a universal definition of abstinence. Sexual addiction is considered a behavioral addiction so early in recovery we define those behaviors we consider to be addictive and destructive.
SAA offers an approach for defining sobriety and tools to assist you in this process. It is strongly suggested that this work (e.g. defining sexual sobriety) be done in consultation with other members of SAA®, a sponsor, and your own outside professional (therapist).
