Sex and love addiction is a real and serious problem that can have a negative impact on your life. If you are struggling with sex and love addiction, it is important to seek help as the condition can be progressive and even fatal.

This pamphlet provides a general introduction to Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (S.L.A.A.)– a fellowship based on the 12-Step recovery program of Alcoholics Anonymous that applies the same ideas to sex and love addiction. With established meetings in many countries, we are open to adults of any age or sexual preference. Members include both those who suffer from a compulsive need for sex, and those with a desperate attachment to one person. What all members have in common is an obsessive/compulsive pattern, either sexual or emotional (or both), in which relationships or sexual activities have become increasingly destructive to all areas of their lives—career, family, and sense of self-respect. 

In this pamphlet you will find detailed information about the addiction itself. This includes why we believe it to be an actual addiction and how the addiction might be expressed in your life. The basics of how to begin your recovery are also covered and there is a handy reprint of the Twelve Steps of S.L.A.A. for handy access.
