In the last few months, paradoxically because of the terrible pandemic, more members in India (and other “remote” places) are able to join international meetings on platforms like Zoom. This allows newcomers to see “how it’s done” from members with experience around the world. It is estimated that of our current 147 members, around 60 are actively working the Steps with a sponsor, with about 30 of whom have several months of sobriety.

Several online meetings in Hindi and/or English exist, and the next step will be establishing an intergroup. A few members from Pakistan are also working the Steps, joining forces with the Indian resources. A WhatsApp group, Essay India, is very successful and includes 197 members (147 from India, Indians living abroad, and several sober non-Indians to foster a more sober culture).

If anyone would like to help in guiding our young fellowship—in terms of sponsorship, building an intergroup, being a speaker at our meetings, etc. please contact Sexaholics Anonymous India at essayindia12@gmail.com.
