"Nearly three years ago, after my multiple affairs were discovered, my therapist suggested I check out Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, part of a broader 12-Step program. I walked into my first meeting feeling broken and ashamed, but I was instantly welcomed with open arms and no judgment.

Hearing others share stories so eerily similar to mine gave me hope for the first time. I wasn't alone in this. I found a sponsor and began working the Twelve Steps. Through the program, I've learned profound truths about myself, healed old wounds, and most importantly, built a supportive community, what my sponsor calls our 'village'.

Today, I no longer feel isolated. S.L.A.A. has given me tools for lasting recovery and a sense of belonging. If you're struggling, whether in a heterosexual or LGBTQ+ recovery context, there's hope here." - Haley G.

"I was convinced the way I had been living was normal. As someone younger, 25, involved in the program, life outside was difficult to navigate due to the normalcy of hookup culture in today’s society. Situationships and multiple sexual partners without commitment were the new American Dream. It was a lifestyle I was easily sucked into due to my lack of self-esteem and my want to love and be loved. I was utterly consumed, filling my spare time with hundreds of hours logged online, meeting strangers, seducing my vulnerable friends, all just to be disappointed and searching for something more dangerous and exciting than the previous encounters I had. Collecting people was fast and easy, almost a game to me. I had no regard towards myself or the feelings of others; I had one concern only and that was filling my own personal and selfish needs for sex and love. I began ruining friendships, relationships, marriages, and ultimately myself. I spent years curating this identity filled with false sex positivity and greed, which transformed into a life of guilt and shame. All these years, I had let myself believe that the way I was living was normal. Being surrounded by many others that practiced the same way of living, why would I be convinced otherwise? It was when I decided to walk into an SLAA meeting that the truth would be unveiled to me. By admitting my powerlessness and coming into contact with a higher power, I was able to confront my sickness in a way I had never been able to understand before. With the help of SLAA and the first step of the 12-Step program, I would begin my journey to sobriety and a fulfilling life, excluding guilt and shame." - Hailey H.

"Going to church, prayer, and being more active in my religion never got me sober from porn or hooking up. It took the 12-Step program of SLAA to do that. Thank Higher Power for their rooms!" - Shane M.

"Before coming to these rooms, I couldn't look myself in the eye and tell myself I loved me or that God loved me. Since working the 12-Step program, I've learned that I'm only human and I am doing my best, one day at a time." - Aari P.

The 12-Step program has been a cornerstone for many individuals seeking LGBTQ+ recovery. One notable group that utilizes this approach is Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, which supports members in overcoming their challenges related to love and intimacy.
