Orange
County IntergroupFrequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous?
A: Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous is an anonymous,
Twelve Step, fellowship of men and women who share their experience,
strength and hope in that we may solve our common problem and help
others to recover. The S.L.A.A. recovery program and fellowship are
based on the model pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous.
Q:
What is the cost for joining?
A: There is no cost to join or attend meetings. Our meetings and
our national and local service organizations are self supporting through
our own contributions.
Q: Do I have to be a member to attend?
A: No. However, some meetings are designated as "closed" which
means that only persons with a desire to stop a destructive pattern of
sexual behavior may attend.
Q:
How do I get started?
A: It is suggested that you start by attending meetings on a regular
basis and by reading S.L.A.A. literature. Try to stay for the entire
meeting and allow the group to welcome you.
Q: Do I have to speak or get involved or can
I just listen?
A: You do not have to participate to attend. You may be asked for
your first name so that we may welcome you. The anonymity of all
attendees is respected.
Q: How do I know if I am a Sex and Love
Addict?
A:Only you can ultimately answer that question. However, there are
certain characteristics that we have found to be common amongst us.
