For the Newcomer

You are not alone… at one time or another we have all felt the anger, guilt, shame, or hopelessness that you might be feeling right now. In S-Anon, we subscribe to the following core beliefs:

  • That we do have choices; we should not feel trapped in impossible situations.
  • We respect each person’s anonymity and the confidentiality of personal information. “Whatever is said in the room, stays in the room.”
  • We believe that sexaholism is a disease very similar to alocoholism. This means that the actions of the sexaholic are not a result of something we have or have not done. We did not cause it, we can’t control it, and we cannot cure it.
  • We rely on a Higher Power to restore us to sanity; S-Anon recovery is based upon spiritual principles.
