The basic text of the SAA fellowship, Sex Addicts Anonymous explains sex addiction from the SAA perspective and demonstrates, through examples, how sex addiction worsens over time. It describes the personal powerlessness and unmanageability of sex addiction, and the damage to personal relationships, livelihood, and physical health that is often caused by addictive behavior.
Sex Addicts Anonymous conveys a vision of hope for the addict through a recovery program based on the time-honored Twelve Steps that were initially proposed for alcoholics. A separate section of the book offers a variety of personal stories from individual members of the fellowship to illustrate the challenges and the hope of recovery.
This is a really good book for understanding sexaholics. It is modeled after the AA book for alcoholics. This book helped me better understand what some of my clients say is their problem. Prior to reading this book, I thought it was just an excuse for their choices. Now I understand it is not. After reading this book, I can confidently recommend it to them. Also, I feel better prepared to argue on their behalf that they are suffering from an addiction. I will use this book as a manual to help represent people suffering from this addiction.
