#SEX & LOVE ADDICTS ANONYMOUS MEETINGS UPDATE#
From coast-to-coast in the USA, this is a growing and free resource to update meetings for all anonymous 12 step groups. National 12 step meetings and Anonymous Groups is a growing repository of meeting data for all well-known established 12 step groups. We establish healthy emotional intimacy with others in this program as we learn and grow from the Twelve Step model pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous.Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) is a twelve-step program for people recovering from what they call sex addiction and love addiction.
In time, many of us find that sharing our shame and frustration is freeing, and we are given a gift by being surrounded with others who understand and do not judge us. Our group conscience encourages us to build and reinforce sexual and emotional sobriety, as each individual comes to define that for themselves.Īs we experience more recovery, we have become more at ease in the trusted company of others with whom we have so much in common.
We speak of many topics in SLAA meetings, including sexual addiction, compulsive masturbation, fantasy, obsession, sexual and emotional anorexia, prostitution, compulsive dating behaviors, lack of boundaries, and pornography. As we untangle the experience of our addiction or anorexia, it becomes clear how these behaviors are no less damaging, and how important it is to address these in our healing journey of recovery. The truth is that addictive and compulsive behaviors hurt others and ourselves in ways we could not see when we first entered recovery. It may be tempting to dismiss love addiction, anorexia, or obsession as “less risky” behaviors because they may not directly hurt others. How it expresses itself (what we call Bottom Lines) varies widely from person to person. The nature of our addiction lies in isolation, disconnection, and shame. At the core of our experience, whatever form our addiction takes, we have found it to be cunning, baffling, and powerful - no matter one’s gender or how our addiction is expressed. In reality, sex addiction, love addiction, sexual/emotional anorexia, or often a combination of these can be uncovered during our exploration of our destructive behaviors. It can be thought that sex addiction mainly afflicts men and love addition mainly affects women, but we have not found this to be true for us. It is very common in our fellowship for newcomers to see love addiction as “less serious,” or perhaps something that only women struggle with. We encourage you to start here for a self-analysis of your current situation.Ī Note on Sex Addiction vs Love Addiction as it Relates to Gender We find a common denominator in our obsessive, compulsive patterns which renders any personal differences of sexual orientation or gender identity irrelevant. and seek a relationship with a higher power to counter the destructive consequences of one or more addictive behaviors related to sex addiction, love addiction, dependency on romantic attachments, emotional dependency, and sexual, social and emotional anorexia. In addition, members reach out to others in the fellowship, practice the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of S.L.A.A. One of the resources we draw on is our willingness to stop acting out in our own personal bottom line addictive behavior on a daily basis. Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (S.L.A.A.) is a Twelve Step and Twelve Tradition oriented recovery fellowship based on the model pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous.
