I think this program is really good for me. I think SA when I get up and when I go to bed. To me SA is like the…song, You Light Up My Life. Thank you all very much. May God bless you all.

When I sent my original request, it was with the idea that I needed a support group for the codependents.… I thought when I saw the pamphlet Sexaholics Anonymous, How could they have misunderstood me so badly! … Well, guess what—after reading, I found I need SA as much as S-Anon—perhaps more so. God gives us what we need, not what we want.… Yes, I am serious about wanting freedom from sexually self-destructive thinking and behavior through the Twelve Steps.… Let me know where the closest SA meeting/group is for women.…

The following is proposed as an SA slogan: SOCIALIZE, DON’T SEXUALIZE. I have spent much of my life in social and/or emotional isolation. Eventually it becomes overpowering. My mind begins to sexualize things that I look at, hear, feel, etc. That is the time to get out of isolation by engaging in meaningful social activity, meaningful because it must be emotionally satisfying rather than a superficial type of socializing. Helping within one’s own home group and doing Twelve-Step work outside of the home group are excellent ways.

…The Relationship letter was how my attitude was changed. Our groups will profit by seeing this plan in print. Thank you and the Program and our Higher Power.…

Having been actively involved in the SA chapter at the medium security facility of the Kansas State Penitentiary…for eight months, I find myself to be in a much more positive point in my life than ever before. I cannot believe the peace and happiness that this program has helped me to achieve.… I am very serious about continuing in SA once I am on parole, so would very much like to start some communication with someone in a chapter that will hopefully be my “home” chapter before too many more months.…

Since August 1987 I’ve been an active member of SA and can truly say it has made a big difference in my life and continues to sustain me in the genuine joy of sobriety. I’m ten and one-half months sober right now and I’ve never known the freedom and tranquility that I now have and am grateful to the Higher Power for that great gift.… I hope that this news will be as joyful to you as it is to me. The directors of the organization I belong to reside in Italy. They came for a visit and took two hours one evening to listen to me explain SA and its program, and most of all what it has done for me. They were deeply impressed and when I explained the 12 Steps, they translated them into Italian. The whole exchange took place in Italian. After they had finished Step 12, they remarked on the beauty of the program’s philosophy and said, “How much we need something like this in Italy.” They have asked me to translate the white manual for them so that they can better understand.…

…I just want to thank SA for being here when I needed you and pray that you will remain here for future sexaholics and those who are, at present, still in denial.
