The following is an excerpt that was recently added to our SA Service Manual.

“The three legacies of Sexaholics Anonymous are Recovery, Unity, and Service. These legacies are the basic foundation of our fellowship. The Twelve Steps of SA are our suggested path to Recovery. The Twelve Traditions of SA are the suggested path to Unity within the fellowship. The Twelve Concepts of SA are the suggested path to Service within the fellowship. These legacies are based on the AA legacies…” (SA Service Manual, Chapter 1, p. 1) 

“The graphic above is based on the 24-hour chip, which reminds us that this program is a one-

day-at-a-time program. The three legacies are shown as an equilateral triangle, where all sides are the same size. This shows us that all of the legacies are of equal importance. Recovery is at the bottom to remind us that our recovery must come first, as nothing else is achievable without it. Unity and service are built on that foundation of recovery and are what tie the fellowship together.” (SA Service Manual, Chapter 1, p. 1)
