S.A. Purpose
Sexaholics Anonymous is 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. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop lusting and become sexually sober. There are no dues or fees for SA membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. SA is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization, or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sexually sober and help others to achieve sexual sobriety.*
Sexaholics Anonymous is a recovery program based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and received permission from AA to use its Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions in 1979.

Sexaholics Anonymous Statement of Principle
We have a solution. We don’t claim it’s for everybody, but for us, it works. If you identify with us and think you may share our problem, we’d like to share our solution with you (Sexaholics Anonymous, last sentence, page 2).
In defining sobriety, we do not speak for those outside Sexaholics Anonymous. We can only speak for ourselves. Thus, for the married sexaholic, sexual sobriety means having no form of sex with self or with persons other than the spouse. In SA’s sobriety definition, the term “spouse” refers to one’s partner in a marriage between a man and a woman. For the unmarried sexaholic, sexual sobriety means freedom from sex of any kind. And for all of us, single and married alike, sexual sobriety also includes progressive victory over lust (Sexaholics Anonymous, 191-192).
The only requirement for SA membership is a desire to stop lusting and become sexually sober according to the SA sobriety definition.
Any two or more sexaholics gathered together for SA sobriety according to SA sobriety definition may call themselves an SA group.
Meetings that do not adhere to and follow Sexaholics Anonymous’ sobriety statement as set forth in the foregoing Statement of Principle adopted by the General Delegate Assembly in 2010 are not SA meetings and shall not call themselves SA meetings.
Addendum to the Statement of Principle passed by the General Delegate Assembly on July 8, 2016.
What is SASERA?
Sexaholics Anonymous South East Regional Assembly
Just as groups in a local area come together in an Intergroup to serve their area, so Intergroups come together to serve their Region and SA on the national and international level where the numbers of Intergroups warrant a Regional Assembly.
MISSION
The mission of SASERA (SA Southeast Regional Assembly) is to represent Intergroups in the following States: Alabama, Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
SASERA’s PURPOSE
The service provided at the regional level mirrors the service provided at the Intergroup level. Intergroup representatives come together periodically at a Regional Assembly in order to:
- Facilitate connection among Intergroups throughout the Region and with SAICO (SA International Central Office) by helping Intergroups share resources and best practices, coordinate their phone and/or web site referral systems, facilitate obtaining speakers, etc.
- Communicate information about the status of the constituent Intergroups and develop a service relationship between Intergroup Representatives (IGRs).
- Circulate Regional information on weekend conferences and retreats, step study workshops and marathon days, as well as on international conferences.
- Discuss concerns and solutions affecting the Region and SA as a whole, including sharing information to/from the General Delegate Assembly (GDA).
- Elect General Assembly Delegates (GAD) from the IGRs to represent the Region at the General Delegate Assembly.
