Call for Member Stories 2000

The last edition of Sexaholics Anonymous Member Stories was published in 1989. We currently sell about 500 copies of this every year. The SA Literature Committee intends next year to publish a new volume tentatively titled Member Stories 2000.

This is a call to members of the Fellowship to share their experience, strength and hope with other sexaholics. We currently have several stories collected over the past two years and some from the previous edition. We are especially interested in adding stories from outside North America and from women, minorities and youthful sexaholics. The time-tested format is “what we used to be like, what happened and what we are like now.” As applicable, how you have progressed in your spiritual life, relationships and sobriety will be especially interesting.

The Literature Committee asks that recovery stories be sent by regular mail or e-mail to the International Central Office. We ask that the stories be from persons with three or more years of sexual sobriety as SA understands it and that the stories be reviewed by your local group, Intergroup, or regional assembly. If you do not have access to a group or Intergroup, or if you have less than three years’ sexual sobriety and want your story considered, please send it through your sponsor with a letter explaining the particulars of your situation. In any case, be sure to tell us how to contact you.

After review we will contact you if the Literature Committee wishes to use your story regarding any editorial changes and copyright release. All stories submitted will become the property of Sexaholics Anonymous, Inc. and may be used in other publications such as Essay.

Please send your story before September 30, 1999, to P.O. Box 111910, Nashville, Tenn. 37222, or e-mail it to story@sa.org.
