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.

Stories

| Why I’m here… | I was arrested in November 2023. I then attended Keystone residential program for sex addiction for 42 days. I’m currently working with a sponsor with the Big Book through ssapp. I expect around a year of jail time. I hope to continue my recovery, if jail is Thy will, and work with other prisoner addicts. |
| Outed by my wife | I was outed by my wife during a session with our marriage therapist in mid-October 2023. She discovered my 40-year secret the day before and blindsided me with it during couple’s therapy. She blurted out, “Are you a bisexual?” and the rest is history. She discovered my secret when she was looking through my office and found the private notes I take when meeting with my own therapist. The notes discussed my bisexuality and my history of acting out. We have been married for 40 years. I am 63 (so is she). We have three adult children (ages 37, 35, & 33). We have four grandchildren (ages 5, 2, 2, & three months). I have known I was bisexual since I was a teenager. I acted out with men over the years but was able to keep it a secret and it never interfered with my sexual attraction to my wife. My feelings about this are all over the place. I’m feeling ashamed, guilty, and misunderstood, but I will not deny my bisexuality. I had never planned to come out to the world, but my wife changed that plan. Now what do I do? Who do I tell, who do I not tell? What will my adult children think of me? I am a mess right now. Will we separate? Divorce? Posted: 11/28/2023. |
| I was amazed. | I am a sex addict. My “drug of choice” was having “harmless”, “secret” affairs. |
| Path to Recovery | My journey started like most, in denial. I was caught up in my own behaviors and it wasn't effecting my normal life, so it continued in the shadows and kept growing and progressing until a point I wish I could take it back. |

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:
