Resources
“In addition to the Twelve Steps, there are many suggested tools that we have found to be beneficial in our recovery from sex addiction. A tool is an action that supports recovery and that has been used successfully by other sex addicts. We practice honesty, openness, and willingness when we adopt a new tool, and we trust in the experience, strength, and hope of the fellowship that we will benefit as others have before us.”
— Sex Addicts Anonymous, 3rd ed., 63
