Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous
Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (S.L.A.A.) is a twelve-step program for people recovering from sex addiction and love addiction.
==History==
S.L.A.A. (sometimes written SLAA) was founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1976, by a member of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Though he had been a member of AA for many years, he repeatedly acted out and was serially unfaithful to his wife. He noticed a correlation between his powerlessness and unmanageability with alcoholism and with recurring sex and love issues. He founded S.L.A.A. as an attempt to stop his compulsive sexual and romantic behavior. S.L.A.A. was one of the first of several 12 Step programs to focus on sex addiction, together called the "S" fellowships, that all emerged independently on separate coasts in the late 70s. In cities with few meetings, different "S" programs occasionally work together by sharing resources.
S.L.A.A. is sometimes known as the Augustine Fellowship, because early members saw many of their shared symptoms described by St. Augustine of Hippo in his work ''Confessions''. Also the first meeting place in a church in 1976 discouraged them from using the name ''Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous'' on church records for fear of controversy among the congregation.
The Board of Trustees of the Augustine Fellowship, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (S.L.A.A.), Fellowship Wide Services, Inc. (F.W.S.) was established seven years later in 1983. The first annual Conference of S.L.A.A. was held January 14, 1984 at the Grace Episcopal Church in Newton, Massachusetts. The Business Meeting was opened with eighteen people in attendance.〔Handout at 2013 USJT Conference on Sex and Love Addiction in Brooklyn〕
