Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) is an international, twelve-step fellowship organization that offers support to individuals who struggle with compulsive sexual and romantic behaviors. SLAA provides a safe and anonymous space for individuals to share their experiences, gain knowledge, and find recovery from the devastating effects of sex and love addiction.
Sex and love addiction is characterized by an unhealthy pattern of engaging in sexual or romantic relationships that are often dysfunctional, destructive, or emotionally damaging. Individuals with this addiction may feel a constant compulsion to engage in sexual activities or pursue romantic relationships, even when it negatively impacts their mental health, emotional well-being, and interpersonal relationships.
SLAA helps individuals identify and address the underlying causes and triggers of their addiction through various recovery tools, such as meetings, literature, step work, and sponsorship. Members work towards establishing healthy boundaries, building self-esteem, and developing fulfilling relationships based on mutual respect and honesty.
The organization emphasizes fostering personal accountability, spiritual growth, and self-awareness. Members receive support and encouragement from others who have similar experiences, providing a sense of community and understanding.
Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous acknowledges that recovery from sex and love addiction is a lifelong process that requires ongoing dedication and effort. By participating in SLAA, individuals are given the opportunity to heal, grow, and create a healthier relationship with their own sexuality, love, and intimacy.
