We are sex addicts. Our addiction nearly destroyed our lives, but we found freedom through the recovery program of Sex Addicts Anonymous. In the fellowship of SAA, we discovered that we are not alone and that meeting regularly together to share experience, strength, and hope gives us the choice to live a new life.

Before I got into the program I thought to admit I was a sex addict would be to somehow evade responsibility. I was taught that if I said I was an addict, I wouldn't be admitting that I was committing sin.
I found that this is not true. In the program, I was able to face my choices, character defects, and people I hurt. But first, I needed to do something bigger. I needed to admit that I had a problem that was bigger than me and that by myself I was out of control. While I didn't go directly to SAA (I visit this excellent group when in Charlotte), I did find SLAA, a similar program, that meets each week in Boone. Here, over time, I learned how to make choice over against my addiction to enjoying a much better life.
