““Sexaholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop lusting and become sexually sober. There are no dues or fees for SA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. SA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sexually sober and help others to achieve sexual sobriety.* Sexaholics Anonymous is a recovery program based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and received permission from AA to use its Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions in 1979.”- Sexaholics Anonymous Website
"Attending SA meetings starts us on a new way of life. But while the SA fellowship supports our recovery, the actual work of recovery is described in the Twelve Steps. Meetings are forums for learning how to integrate the steps into our lives. Working the Twelve Steps leads to a spiritual transformation that results in sustainable relief from our addiction." - Sexaholics Anonymous Website

STEP 1
We admitted we were powerless over addictive sexual behavior - that our lives had become unmanageable.
STEP 2
Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
STEP 3
Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood God.
STEP 4
Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
STEP 5
Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
STEP 6
Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
STEP 7
Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
STEP 8
Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
STEP 9
Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
STEP 10
Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
STEP 11
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
STEP 12
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to others and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
These steps are the heart of our program. They contain a depth that we could hardly have guessed when we started. Over time, we establish a relationship with a Power greater than ourselves, each of us coming to an understanding of a Higher Power that is personal for us.
The SA program offers a spiritual solution to our addiction, without requiring adherence to any specific set of beliefs or practices.
But the steps are more than a series of exercises. They provide basic principles for living. Most of us find opportunities on a daily basis to apply one or more of the steps to some challenge in our life. Over time, the spiritual principles in the steps become integrated into our thoughts, feelings, and behavior. We find that we are not only working the steps — we are living them.
