As we continued working the Twelve Step Program, we experienced the return of personal integrity and found a new sense of purpose in our lives. We began accepting daily problems as stepping stones to spiritual growth. We found faith and courage to change our way of thinking and acting. We discovered that, when we began applying the Twelve Steps conscientiously in our lives, we could abstain both from obsessive mental preoccupation with sex and compulsive sexual behavior. We welcome members of any sexual identity or orientation, whether they are gay, lesbian, straight, bisexual, or transgender. Our fellowship is open to women and men, regardless of age, race, religion, ethnic background, marital status, or occupation. Whom we meet or what is said in a meeting is considered as confidential. We practice strict anonymity and confidentiality, so that our meetings are a safe place for all of us. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop addictive sexual behavior. We are recovering oneday at a time from the biochemical disease of food addiction. Meetings are held online and via telephone.We offer hope to suffering food addicts.

SAA meetings offer an accepting, non-threatening environment where we can share our common struggles and learn how to apply the principles of the Twelve Steps to our everyday lives. Hold public meetings and distribute literature for individualswith food addictions. In meetings, we listened as men and women shared their experience, strength, and hope with each other to find freedom from addictive sexual behavior and help each other recover from sex addiction. The spark that was to flare into the first Drug Addicts Anonymous group in the United States was started in Dallas, Texas in early 2006 when a small group of addicts wanted to join a 12 step fellowship that used the program of action outlined in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. The primary purpose of meetings is to carry our message of recovery to the addict who still suffers. 10) They are places where we can hear the message of recovery and share about our own struggles with people who are like us and who understand us. We find a new way of living through the SAA program, and carry our message to others seeking recovery. Meetings are the heart of the SAA fellowship. We learned through the SAA Fellowship that we were not hopelessly defective. In that setting we heard stories similar to ours and realized that recovery from our malady was possible. Many of us came to this realization when we started attending SAA meetings. Recovery was possible for most of us only when we accepted the fact that we were powerless over our addictive sexual behavior and that we were incapable of changing without help from outside ourselves. Our primary purpose is to stop our addictive sexual behavior and to help others recover from sexual addiction.
