The Parry Sound meeting is on hold temporarily. We've removed it from the list until it is able to begin again.

To counter the destructive consequences of sex and love addiction, we draw on five major resources:

Sobriety. Our willingness to stop acting out in our own personal bottom-line addictive behavior on a daily basis.
Sponsorship / Meetings. Our capacity to reach out for the supportive fellowship within S.L.A.A.
Steps. Our practice of the Twelve Step program of recovery to achieve sexual and emotional sobriety.
Service. Our giving back to the S.L.A.A. community what we continue to freely receive.
Spirituality. Our developing a relationship with a Power greater than ourselves which can guide and sustain us in recovery.

As a fellowship S.L.A.A. has no opinion on outside issues and seeks no controversy. S.L.A.A. is not affiliated with any other organizations, movements, or causes, either religious or secular.

We are, however, united in a common focus: dealing with our addictive sexual and emotional behavior. We find a common denominator in our obsessive/compulsive patterns, which transcends any personal differences of sexual orientation or gender identity.

We need protect with special care the anonymity of every S.L.A.A. member. Additionally we try to avoid drawing undue attention to S.L.A.A. as a whole from the public media.
