The preliminary 2016 year end SAICO financial results are a direct reflection of the Fellowship’s expanded service to spread the message to the still suffering sexaholic and the Fellowship’s generosity to support this service. The Finance Committee sees this growth not just in the dollars and cents numbers. International service growth means SAICO is now doing transactions in seven different currencies.

There’s rocket scientist brains for $15 an ounce, regular scientist brains for $10 an ounce, and sexaholic brains for the sum of $800 an ounce. The man asks, “How come the sexaholic brains are so expensive?” The doctor replies, “Because they’ve never been used.”

For me, it was an epiphany brought about from the threat of a second divorce. It was a sudden realization of the kind of person that I had been over the past 30 years.
Twice a month SA members in the Sacramento area gather for a meditation meeting. The Eleventh Step in the 12&12 describes the direct linkage among self-examination, prayer and meditation. Our practice is simple: we read SA or AA literature and then spend about 20 minutes together in silence using our breath as a focal point.
Hello, my name is Claire, I was created in the image of God, and I’m a recovering sexaholic. By the grace of God, my sobriety date is Wednesday, July 3rd, 2002. I have a sponsor and my sponsor has a sponsor.
Hello everyone! My friends in recovery! Thank God we still have emails… After I use WhatsApp so much, it’s as if one who doesn’t have it – isn’t around at all. Thank God it’s only my sick head ;-)
