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.
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.

Stories

| Tony | My name is Tony. I am a recovering sex addict. Although married, I acted out for 44 years with affairs, strip clubs, pornography and masturbation. A discovered online affair has led to disclosure and a lot of counseling. I joined SA and am following the 12 steps. I have been sober for a few weeks and talking with other addicts seems to be the one thing that is working. I feel hope for the first time. |
| 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. |
| A Life Worth Living | I knew all about existing. Making it from day to day. Often just waiting for it all to be over. That was the story of my childhood, adolescence, and adulthood prior to recovery. I was a survivor. I could weather any storm, and handle anything that came my way. But living, that was for other people. I could not handle living, because it meant staying present in the moment. And each moment was just too painful to face. Today, I am living life one moment at a time, and what a glorious life it is. This is my journey from survival and existing to living life to its fullest. |
| Doctor without Boundaries | My name is Mark w. and I am a sex, love,fantasy addict in recovery with a hint of sexual anorexia -especially to my primary partners. I was a pediatrician for over 25 years until I lost my medical license for acting out with mother's of patients. I was also involved in sexting and contacting my families through social media which was frowned upon by the board. I have been in S fellowships for 5 years now and have been currently sober for the past 2 months of them. My sobriety really improved when I found my higher power which consists of a combination of the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, Mother earth, ,my family and my current step group. Thank you. |

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:
