On May 10, 2001 Sexaholics Anonymous held its inaugural meeting at the Parr Highway Correctional Facility in Adrian, Michigan. A year has come and gone, and SA continues to thrive at our facility. We now have two weekly meetings, one on Thursday evenings and the other on Saturday afternoons. At the suggestion of one of our trusted servants, a combined meeting was held for regular participants in both meetings. We were joined by two members of SA who have served as volunteers for our groups, coming into the prison from the outside world. Both offered insightful sharing of their stories, and the meeting touched all that participated.

SA has made a big impact here. Through the efforts of Keith S., who was our original outside “sponsor,” more than 60 men have been a part of SA during the year. Some men have been paroled, and continue to participate in SA after their release. Those still here benefit from the weekly meetings, the sponsor-by-mail program, and the fellowship that is found at the meetings. This special combined meeting was a way for all of us to say “thank you” to the outside volunteers who have given so unselfishly of themselves, as well as a chance to strengthen the bonds of fellowship for the members of the two meetings. We look forward to our second anniversary next year!
