Bienvenue
Bienvenue au site web de l’intergroupe des télé-réunions de Sex Addicts Anonymes (SAA). SAA est une fraternité composée d’hommes et de femmes qui partagent leur expérience, leur force et leur espoir dans le but se libérer des comportements sexuels compulsifs, et d’aider ceux et celles qui souffrent encore à se rétablir de la dépendance sexuelle. SAA est basé sur les Douze Etapes et les Douze Traditions des Alcooliques anonymes, mais nous ne sommes pas affiliés à AA ni à aucune autre organization.
Les télé-réunions des Sex Addicts Anonymes offrent un environnement accueillant et non menaçant où nous pouvons partager nos luttes communes, et apprendre à mettre en pratique les principes des Douze Étapes dans notre vie quotidienne. La seule condition pour être membre des SAA est le désir d'arrêter un comportement sexuel addictif. Il n'y a ni frais ni cotisations. C'est un programme simple, et ça marche pour nous.
Afin que nos réunions soient un lieu sûr pour nous tous, nous faisons respecter un anonymat et une confidentialité stricts. En principe, donc, l'identité des membres reste anonyme ; ce qui est dit en réunion n'est ni divulgué ni discuté avec qui que ce soit. Nous ne nous opposons pas à d'autres formes de thérapie ou de traitement, nous partageons simplement notre expérience. Vous êtes libre de la prendre ou de la laisser.

| Another Gay Bozo on the Bus. | Bob G & myself started SaaTalk back in 2004. He was working in LA three days a week and started a tele-conference meeting I think on Wednesday. Service keeps you sober; I couldn't stay sober over the weekends. I started the 2nd teleconference meeting on Sunday afternoons. I got sober, imagine that. At the 2005 New Orleans International convention, Bob & I gave a workshop on teleconference meetings, since we saw the potential for the addict who still suffers. Sadly only 2 people showed up. Yet, at the first GLBTQ Roundtable later that day, a group of us started #3 on Tuesdays for the GLBTQ sex addict. I remember when a group of isolated woman got together, and within a few days organized a meeting a day for Woman Only. What a blessing. This is what we do in Recovery and it is so simple. We ask for help in our darkest and deepest hour, and a helping hand of our Higher Power leads us into a sober life. In every case it is not one hand, but a loving army of "me too" and "this is the path of recovery, follow me". Keep on coming back. |
| Grateful for SAA webmeetings | In Oct 2013 I realized I was a sex addict but I live in a town where there are no face to face meetings & I don't feel able to start a meeting myself. So these online meetings have been a lifesaver for me. I'm a gay man & before I started recognizing my addiction I was hooked on anonymous sex, online sexual contacts and was starting to get into potentially dangerous sexual activities. |
| Of the hopeless variety | I could not stop acting out. No matter how hard I tried. |
| My Journey | My name is Darrell, a recovering sex addict, and this is my story. Denial and fear have been constant companions for as long as I can remember. It wasn't until I started my recovery December 9th 2014 did I see that these character defects shaped my life and self loathing. During the writing of my first step I saw the progression of my addiction and the damage that it caused me as well as others. Working my steps has helped me to learn to love myself and to change behaviors that have been shaped from learned behaviors I saw from Dad and Grandfather. It has helped me see generationally how deep the roots of this disease goes. I'm learning how to be emotionally present with my family, how to cope with my emotions without medicating myself with sex or porn, and how to have healthy and real intimacy with my kids and wife. Sane and sober working one day at a time. |

What is sex addiction?
Is sex addiction real?
Sex is a natural, healthy and enjoyable part of life. It can be a beautiful, happy and bonding experience. So how can it be an addiction? Aren’t people who say they’re sex addicts just making excuses for their lack of self-restraint and control? Don’t they just enjoy it too much?
Am I a sex addict?
Like an alcoholic unable to stop drinking, sex addicts are unable to stop their self-destructive sexual behavior. Our behaviors vary: compulsive masturbation, pornography, affairs, paying for sex or being paid, voyeurism, exhibitionism, unsafe sex, abusive sex and much more besides. Family breakups, sexual diseases and other health consequences, financial disaster, loss of jobs, and risk to life are often the painful themes of our stories.
Donate
Members may donate to help all meetings carry their message of recovery.
According to our traditions each SAA group should be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions. Face-to-face groups pass the pot at each meeting and members are free to contribute as they can and as they see appropriate. This is not always possible in a telemeeting, however the telemeetings listed on this website have created a service board called the Telemeeting Intergroup to help them carry the message of the Twelve Steps of SAA to the sex addict who still suffers. Services provided by the Intergroup which groups cannot easily provide in isolation include:
