Group Guide

“An SAA group consists of two or more individuals who, using the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of SAA, meet regularly for the purpose of recovering from their addictive sexual behavior.”

— Sex Addicts Anonymous, p. 10


The SAA Group Guide is designed to give the basic information and materials needed to start and nurture an SAA group. It includes suggested meeting formats and a selection of readings that may be used as deemed appropriate by an autonomous local group. It also contains general information about the SAA Fellowship, including services offered by the International Services Organization (ISO) of SAA and guidelines for participation in regional intergroups.

A updated version of the of the Group Guide was approved in September 2019.

You can download the SAA Group Guide in PDF format in English or Spanish. Hard copies of the Guide can be purchased from the ISO office shown in the Contact Us box.
