Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) Overview

Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) has three main parts which make up the foundation of the Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) program. They are Recovery, Unity, and Service.

Recovery is taking the 12 Steps of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) with a step guide or “sponsor”, in order to heal our damaged spirits, rebuild our lives, and recover from sex and love addiction. Taking the 12 Steps involves reading Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) literature, writing, praying, meditating, making restitution to people we have harmed in our past, doing service work, and attending Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) meetings, among others.

Unity is getting involved with the people, the group, and the fellowship of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA). It means arriving at Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) meetings early and talking to people. Attending the meetings and going out with people from the meetings after the meetings. Attending SLAA activities like SLAA retreats, SLAA conferences, SLAA roundups, SLAA speaker meetings, SLAA parties, SLAA athletic, music events and more. Unity is also participating with other SLAA members in activities outside of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA), talking to other members in-between meetings, providing support to other members, and more.

Service in Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) begins early in recovery, with new members helping set-up chairs, make coffee, greet other members, and clean up after meetings. As new members get more recovery time, they begin taking on service positions with more responsibility. This may include being meeting treasurer, meeting secretary, other meeting level service positions, “sponsoring” or mentoring other new members, and bringing meetings and literature into Hospitals & Institutions where sex and love addicts can’t get to outside meetings. This type of General Service begins at the meeting level, carries into the local areas, through the “district” level, all the way to national level.
