Sexaholics
Anonymous (SA) is one of a number of 12 step fellowships dealing with recovery from
compulsive sexual thinking and behavior.
. While other fellowships may
make no distinction between same-sex and opposite-sex behavior, SA explicitly defines
sexual sobriety to exclude same-sex behavior. This unique aspect of SA
sobriety has actually drawn many members dealing with same-sex issues to
SA. Surveys of SA members show that something
like one in five members have experienced same sex lust. Some of have joined SA
from other S fellowships because when we stated we wanted to stop all
same-sex behavior we were greeted with lack or support or even derision. Many of us have been in
same-sex relationships, while others have never acted out with another
person, and still others have had countless sexual partners. Some of us follow traditional religious
practice, others do not. Some have
been secretive about having same-sex attractions, while others may still live
with a former sexual partner.
Regardless of these circumstances all of us have discovered in SA sobriety and
recovery is the “key to a happy and joyous freedom we could otherwise never
know.” (Sexaholics Anonymous p. 202) This website has been
created to share the experience
of some of the many SA members who deal with same sex lust and have found
SA a safe place to recover. Perhaps there are few
members in your SA group or area dealing with same sex lust. We hope this
resource will help those recovering from same sex lust and those wanting to
learn more about same sex lust recovery in SA. If you doubt whether SA
sobriety is possible, we invite you to explore this site and try our
program. Many of us felt just as you
do, but we found that the hand of SA was there to help. |
