Outline of Getting Started
So, you’ve become convinced that you suffer from the same disease of sex and love addiction as we do and have made the decision to enter recovery only to discover that there are no meetings in your area. Now what?
Chances are if you are like me, you went to a phone meeting or ten and now am thoroughly confused but hopeful because you finally did hear people like yourself. That alone is a comfort, but we want to feel better so what the "frap" do do.
We believe that one way of beginning your recovery may be found by working the 12 steps as outlined in the program of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous and its literature. What we know is and SLAA literature tells you is is this:
Our my experience is that relying on SLAA Conference Approved Literature alone, one can not find enough precise instructions on how to successfully work the steps. If you have not successfully worked another 12 step program this web site will be particularly useful to you.
SLAA literature represents the experience, strength and hope of a large number of us who have recovered from the same problems in our sex and love lives that you are experiencing. The only glitch is in order to understand it you must have a basic understand of the Alcoholics Anonymous 12 step way of working the steps. To get real relief from your Sex and Love Addiction one must be willing to work a vigorous and through program.
Tip from https://slaafws.org/no-meetings
Tip: Read the books recommended in the SLAA Basic Text on pg. 66 upon which our program is based: Alcoholics Anonymous (especially chapters 5-7) and AA’s Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, substituting the words “sex and love addiction” and “our addiction” for “alcoholism” and “alcohol.” These books may be purchased from most book vendors.
Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, p 66 and 67.
Our practice of the Twelve Step program of recovery to achieve sexual and emotional sobriety.
The Twelve Steps were originally formulated by Bill W., a co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, in 1938 . . . Their timelessness after half a century, and their applicability to a different specific addiction such as ours, are tributes to their psychological and spiritual insight and to the high quality of their writing. One thing is clear. The Twelve Steps, as originally set forth in Alcoholics Anonymous, do provide a comprehensive and thorough approach to the problem of dealing with addiction, including sex and love addiction. Our gratitude for the efforts of the early A.A. pioneers is very great. Our expression of it must necessarily fall far short of sufficiently honoring their tremendous achievements.
