MORE ABOUT S.L.A.A.
"The only requirement for S.L.A.A. membership is the desire to stop living out a pattern of sex and love addiction. Any two or more persons gathered together for mutual aid in recovering from sex and love addiction may call themselves an S.L.A.A. group, provided that as a group they have no other affiliation.”

There are many resources available in S.L.A.A. to help you decide if the program is right for you and to help you begin and maintain your recovery. We suggest that you begin by answering the 40 Questions for Self-Diagnosis, which you can use as a guide to identifying possible signposts of sex and love addiction. If you find that you can identify with these questions, you may not be sure what to do next.
You have already taken a big step in seeking information about the program of S.L.A.A. The next thing to do is to find out if there is a meeting near you. One of the greatest gifts to your sobriety is to meet with other sex and love addicts at an S.L.A.A. meeting. By giving and receiving support from others, we not only have a better chance of staying sober, but we also begin to learn how to engage with people in a non-addictive way.
There is valuable literature available that any newcomer to S.L.A.A. would benefit from reading. The most essential piece of literature we have to help you start and stay with the program is the S.L.A.A. Basic Text. This book contains information about discovering the illness, beginning recovery, the Twelve Steps of S.L.A.A. and more, and contains inspiring stories of others who have gone from addiction to recovery. There are also pamphlets that can be of great help. These include the Welcome pamphlet, An Introduction to Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, Suggestions for Newcomers, Questions Beginners Ask, and Addiction and Recovery.
The Twelve Step program of S.L.A.A. has helped many people to break free from the grip of sex and love addiction. Perhaps today could be the start of your own recovery journey.
