Overview

This booklet discusses helpful information about the S-Anon meeting guideline of "sharing about and from the S-Anon point of view" and the importance of maintaining a focus on S-Anon principles to preserve the integrity of our program. Helpful for both newcomers and more experienced members, we come to see that our guidelines are not rules but are instead principles that help us collectively preserve the S-Anon program and provide safety for all S-Anon members.

The S-Anon point of view focuses on the solution to our common problems. We keep the focus on ourselves and our own recovery and aim to provide a safe place free from the influence of outside opinions and advice for all who seek to recover from the effects of someone else's sex addiction.

This 24-page booklet reviews the various aspects of speaking about and from the S-Anon point of view, provides a checklist for handy reference, and contains member stories to provide context for the various themes presented.

About the Author

The S-Anon International Family Groups are a worldwide fellowship of the relatives and friends of sexually addicted people. S-Anon is a 12 Step program based on the 12 Steps and the 12 Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.

S-Anon Family Groups are for those who are hurting in response to the sexual addiction of someone close to them. It does not matter whether that person is a family member, a partner, spouse, child, or someone outside the family like a friend, teacher, or boss. Sexaholism can affect anyone.

S-Anon is for people of all sexual orientations, genders, denominations, and races, those in a relationship or not, parents, children, relatives, friends and others whose lives have been affected by another person’s sexual behavior. The only requirement for S-Anon membership is a problem of sexaholism in a family member or friend.

We have found that attending S-Anon meetings regularly is a vital part of the S-Anon Program. S-Anon groups meet weekly as a way for members to share their experience, strength, and hope. Our meetings are free to attend and are not allied with any particular religion or organization. Meeting information can be found at www.sanon.org.

S-Anon literature represents the S-Anon point of view regarding our recovery and the effects of another person’s sex addiction. Our literature is written by S-Anon members and offers our common experience about recovery from the family disease of sex addiction. Our literature, including S-Anon Twelve Steps and Working the S-Anon Program, can be purchased from our online store at www.sanon.org.

Note: There is also S-Ateen, a Twelve Step recovery program for young people ages 12-19 who have been affected by the sexual behavior of someone close to them. More information about S-Ateen can be found at www.sanon.org/teen-newcomers.
