"SAA meetings are run by members. There are no professional or outside facilitators. We meet as equals: sex addicts helping one another to achieve sexual sobriety and to practice a new way of life. We all contribute to making our meetings places that foster our recovery and carry the SAA message to the sex addict who still suffers."
— Sex Addicts Anonymous, pp. 10-11

New to SAA? You are not alone.
"Coming to the realization that our sexual behaviors were causing pain in our lives and that we did not have control over them was tough for many of us. Admitting this reality was difficult enough; then we were encouraged to attend a Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) meeting. If you find yourself in this situation, the prospect of attending a meeting with a bunch of sex addicts may seem overwhelming. We know. We have been there."

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 intergroups.
