Sex Addicts Anonymous

[2] SAA was founded in 1977 by several men who wanted a greater sense of anonymity than what they perceived in other twelve step programs for sex addicts.

SAA is open to anyone who desires greater control over their behavior, and is intended to be safe for people of all sexual orientations.

Outer circle behaviors might include sex with a partner in a monogamous relationship or getting eight hours of sleep a night.

[9] In Canada, meetings are in the provinces (East to West) Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.

These individuals will help new members by offering a more personal level of availability in order to answer questions and listen to the sponsee's more sensitive problems.

Usually, newcomers will find a proper sponsor after attending a few meetings taking in consideration the level of comfort between the new member and the old one, but if a good relationship is attained, the new attendee will continue to be guided by this person.
