SA and Technology
Meeting Gems List
These are little gems of wisdom I have jotted down through the years. I keep them in my “Meeting In A Pocket” booklet from SAICO.

At the Jersey Strong conference in Newark in July 2017 there was an Old-Timers panel meeting. The speakers with 30-plus years sobriety included Dianne (1987), Margot (1986), Harvey (1984), Mitch (1985), and Tom (1987).
As a sexaholic, I have been blessed with five and a half years of continuous sobriety and recovery from lust. Much of my recovery is due to a high amount of service work in order to give back what has been so freely given to me. This includes attending International conventions when I can. I recently returned from the Jersey Strong SA/S-Anon/S-Ateen convention. The Saturday lunch S-Anon speaker was an S-Ateen instead.
For the past several years the International Conferences have had portions of the event streamed on the internet. Recently this has been done at the conferences in Denver, Jerusalem and Newark. Five sessions were streamed in Denver, three in Jerusalem, and eight in Newark last July.
My name is Peter and I am a sexaholic, addicted to lust. I am so grateful for technology, I thank God regularly for allowing me to be lust free when using it. In my disease I used the computer and telephone to enhance my acting out. It allowed me to live in a fantasy world.
In the wake of a full solar eclipse, that fascinated many people across the continental United States on August 21, 2017, another phenomenon occurred which eclipsed all else. It began at 09:00 UTC on August 23, 2017, and continued for 24 hours. It was the first SA Geek Camp, during which SA members from all over the world connected together via the Internet to carry the SA message.
Can’t attend the San Antonio International SA Convention in person? Now available—registration for live streaming of Saturday sessions 13 January 2018 from 12 Steppin’ Deep in the Heart of Texas. More information will come soon about start time, topics, and titles.
As a member of the Public Information (PI) Committee I have been asked to inform you of the two videos that are imbedded in the www.SA.org website. One is a 30-second public service spot and the other is a 3-minute introduction to SA and could be used in introducing SA to the helping community.
Geek Camp’s Purpose “To carry the message to the still suffering lust addict by the appropriate use of information technology.”
Does SA really work? The clear answer from my own life is yes. I know it works, because it has worked for me.
