Sex Addicts Anonymous
Posted under Community Programs on Thursday, June 18th, 2009
Sex Addicts Anonymous is a fellow of men and women who help each other recover from sexual addiction or dependency. The program is a 12-step model based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop addictive sexual behavior. There are no fees or dues.
Meetings are found in many communities, and if you are shy at first you can attend their online meetings. If you are not yet ready to admit you have a sex addiction problem, you should look for what is called an “open” meeting, which can be attended by anyone.
Members of SA will tell you that only you can decide if you are a sex addict and if you want help. Rarely do people succeed when they are “forced” to get treatment.
Here are some signs SA says may help you determine if you are a sex addict:
Although sex addicts may act out sexually in many different ways, there are common threads that seem to characterize our addiction:
- Powerlessness over addictive sexual behavior.
- Resulting unmanageability of his/her life.
- Feelings of shame, pain, and self-loathing.
- Failed promises and attempts to stop acting out.
- Preoccupation with sex leading to ritual.
