Sexual Recovery Anonymous (SRA) founded circa 1993 is one of several twelve-step programs for the treatment of sexual addiction based on the original Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
[citation needed] There is a related group called SRA-ANON for spouses, relatives, friends, and significant others of SRA members.
[3] This group is analogous to Al-Anon for family members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
[citation needed] SRA was founded around 1993 and is said to be a "progressive offshoot" of Sexaholics Anonymous (SA) and is said to be "far more diverse" with a strong presence of women, African Americans, Asians, and members of the LGBT community.
[4] SRA also differs from SA by allowing sexual relations between two people in a “committed relationship”, while SA only allows a heterosexual spouse as an acceptable partner.
