What is Sex Addicts Anonymous?
Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) is a fellowship of individuals who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may overcome their sexual addiction and help others recover from sexual addiction or dependency.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop our compulsive sexual behavior.
SAA is not affiliated with any sect, denomination or outside enterprise. Our groups are self-supporting through their own contributions.
SAA is not group therapy or sex therapy; rather, it is a program of recovery from sexual addiction based on our 12 steps and 12 traditions.
SAA has no affiliation with Alcoholics Anonymous although our group is based on the principles of AA.
Our primary purpose is to abstain from sexually compulsive behavior and to help others achieve abstinence.

Am I a sex addict?
Before coming to Sex Addicts Anonymous, many of us never knew that our problem had a name. All we knew was that we couldn't control our sexual behavior. For us, sex was a consuming way of life. Although the details of our stories were different, our problem was the same. We were addicted to sexual behaviors that we returned to over and over, despite the consequences.
