How to Find a Sexaholics Anonymous Meeting or Purchase SA Literature
Updated
Go to sa.org and use the top navigation menu. "Find a Meeting" and "Conventions & Events" are listed under Meetings & Events, while "Purchase Literature" appears under Literature and again under Store. Both paths are open to anyone browsing the site; the site does not state that an account or login is required to view meeting listings or the literature store.
Finding a Meeting
- Open sa.org.
- In the navigation menu, go to Meetings & Events.
- Select Find a Meeting.
- Use the resulting meeting information to locate a meeting near you.
The site's own call to action is "Join us at a meeting near you," and the homepage repeats "Find A Meeting" as the next step after describing the fellowship. If you are new, the For Newcomers section is the companion path: it links to "What is Sexaholics Anonymous?", "We Have a Solution," "The SA Program of Recovery," "Women and SA," "How We Define Sobriety," and "Test Yourself."
Before you attend: what SA says about itself
Sexaholics Anonymous describes itself as "a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength, and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover." It frames that common problem as "lust, sex, and pornography addiction."
The site also publishes a Participation Statement, described as "suitable for sharing at meetings," and offers it as a download. If a group asks how participation is handled, that statement is the document to check rather than assuming a rule.
If you are unsure whether SA fits
The site provides a Test Yourself / Take the Test page with questions such as "Have you ever thought you needed help for your sexual thinking or behavior?" and "Has sex with self or with someone other than your spouse become destructive? Are you hooked and cannot stop?" These are self-assessment prompts, not a diagnosis. SA states its solution is not claimed to be for everybody: "We don't claim it's for everybody, but for us, it works."
SA also defines sobriety only for its own members: "In defining sobriety, we do not speak for those outside Sexaholics Anonymous. We can only speak for ourselves." For the married sexaholic, the site states that sexual sobriety means having no form of sex with self or with persons other than the spouse.
Finding Conventions and Events
- Open sa.org.
- Go to Meetings & Events.
- Select Conventions & Events.
The same menu section also lists Correctional Facilities and SA Resources, which is a separate resource path from local meetings. Registration for a convention is handled through a Register for a Convention link in the site's action list, alongside "Find a Meeting" and "Contribute."
Purchasing SA Literature
- Open sa.org.
- Go to Literature in the navigation menu and select Purchase Literature — or use the Store menu item, which also contains Purchase Literature.
- Complete the purchase through the store page.
Literature items named on the site include:
- The SA Service Manual
- Pamphlets
- Other Documents
- The ESSAY Magazine
- Videos (listed under For Newcomers)
The site includes "purchase" as a pricing-related signal but does not publish prices, payment platforms, or shipping terms on the pages summarized here. Check the store page itself for current cost and checkout details.
