Bem-vindo(a)
Bem-vindo(a) ao web site do Intergrupo de Tele-encontros de Adictos Sexuais Anônimos - ASA é um grupo de homens e mulheres em que compartilhamos nossa experiência, força e esperança uns com os outros com o propósito de encontrar liberdade do comportamento de dependência sexual e ajudar os outros a recuperar-se da dependência em sexo. O nosso programa é baseado nos Doze Passos e Doze Tradições de Alcoólicos Anônimos, embora nós não sejamos afiliados com AA ou qualquer outra organização.
Os Tele-encontros de Adictos Sexuais Anônimos (ASA) oferecem um ambiente de aceitação, não ameaçador, onde podemos compartilhar nossas lutas comuns e aprender como aplicar os princípios dos Doze Passos para a nossa vida quotidiana. O único requisito para ser membro é o desejo de parar o comportamento sexual aditivo. Não são cobradas taxas ou remunerações. É um programa simples, que está trabalhando para nós.
Praticamos estrito anonimato e confidencialidade, de modo que nossas reuniões são um lugar seguro para todos nós. Quem nós encontramos ou o que é dito em uma reunião é confidencial e não é normalmente divulgado ou discutido com ninguém. Não nos opomos a outras formas de terapia ou tratamento - nós apenas oferecemos nossa experiência, você está livre para pegá-la ou largá-la.

| Recovered Alcoholic but oh my I may be a Sex Addict too | Hi, I'm Will, and I think I'm a Sex Addict. I don't act out with other people, but I watch entirely too much pornography, to the extent that it interferes with my life. I'd like to work the steps of SAA because quite frankly, the AA steps saved my life. So I know the steps work if you work them, of that there is no doubt. So now that the drink problem is solved, the other problem I have is related to my sexual sobriety, and I think I've found a moment of clarity but I really need to connect with a group. |
| 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. |
| Hurt my Family - Voyeurism | I allowed my addiction to porn hurt my whole family due to voyeurism. My girls won't talk to me right now... (I pray one day they will) so I'm here for anyone else in a similar boat. |
| My Story | I have been struggling with my addiction to porn since I was about 14 or 15. I found a penthouse magazine underneath my dad's bed and it made me feel something inside. I was able to rent porn at the video store when I was about 15-16. I looked much older than my age. I had a job at pizzeria and made pretty good money, so a lot of it went to porn. By the time I was 18, I had multiple memberships at video stores around town. I would rotate them each week, so I didn't look like a porn freak. |

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:
