TOOLS OF RECOVERY
40 QUESTIONS FOR SELF-ACESSMENT
To help you determine if you might benefit from our fellowship, we recommend completing the self-assessment questions provided in the 40 Questions for Self-Diagnosis. If you answer yes to any combination of these questions and believe you may be facing challenges related to sex and love addiction, you are welcome to explore S.L.A.A. resources and join our 12-step program.
S.L.A.A. CORE DOCUMENTS
The Twelve Steps of S.L.A.A. (pdf) outline the essential framework of the 12-step program designed for those seeking recovery from sex and love addiction. The Twelve Traditions of S.L.A.A. (pdf) and The Twelve Concepts of S.L.A.A. (pdf) provide additional guidance within this recovery literature. You can also review The S.L.A.A. Preamble (pdf) for an introduction to the program. For those looking to understand sex and love addiction better, the Characteristics of Sex and Love Addiction (pdf) document is invaluable. To aid in personal discovery, the 40 Questions for Self-Diagnosis (pdf) serve as effective self-assessment questions. Furthermore, the Signs of Recovery (pdf) highlight progress indicators, while the Recommended Guidelines for Dealing with the Media (pdf) offer practical advice for navigating public interactions.
LITERATURE

An essential piece of recovery literature to help you start and stay with the program is the S.L.A.A. Basic Text. This book provides vital information about discovering the illness of sex and love addiction, beginning recovery, defining sobriety, and outlines the Twelve Steps of S.L.A.A. It also includes personal stories of others who have transitioned from addiction to recovery.
Additionally, there are helpful S.L.A.A. resources in the form of pamphlets. These include the Welcome pamphlet, An Introduction to Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, Suggestions for Newcomers, Questions Beginners Ask, and Addiction and Recovery.
The Twelve Step program of S.L.A.A. has assisted many of us in breaking free from the grip of sex and love addiction. Don’t forget to explore the self-assessment questions available, which can further aid in your journey. Remember, You Are Not Alone.
