Think sex or porn might be controlling your life? You're not alone.

You don't need to decide right away. If you think you might have a problem, you're welcome to attend meetings and explore whether SAA is right for you.

No, sharing is entirely voluntary and members do not give advice to each other. You can simply listen and share only when you feel comfortable doing so.

No, there are no fees or dues required to attend SAA meetings. SAA is self-supporting through member contributions, but donations are voluntary.

No, SAA is a spiritual programme, not a religious one. People from any religious background, or none at all, are welcome. The Twelve Steps focus on spiritual growth but don't require belief in any specific deity, doctrine, or religious practice.

Our Luxembourg group is a mixed, in-person meeting for English-speaking adults over 18. If you're under 18 or don't speak English, we recommend seeking online meetings at saa-recovery.org.

Yes. SAA is open to anyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or religious beliefs. Our group is committed to creating a welcoming environment for everyone.

• All mobile phones should be switched off or at least put on silent and not used during the meeting
• A meeting is not a place to meet sexual partners, nor is it group therapy
• As a mixed meeting, we dress appropriately and are mindful of giving hugs or physical contact
• We use only our first names, and we use the words 'I' or 'We' instead of 'You' when sharing about our recovery
• We address our sharing to the whole group, not to one or more individuals
• We speak about our own experiences and we listen without comment to what others share
• We do not interrupt or give advice unless asked
• Cross talk and feedback are discouraged; examples may include: answering, questioning, criticising, minimising another person's feelings or experiences, or referring to someone else present by their name
• We try not to use offensive language, or descriptions that are too explicit and we avoid mentioning specific names, websites, apps or places associated with our acting out behaviour
• Our focus remains on the solution rather than the problem
• Who we meet or what is said here is treated as confidential and not discussed with non-group members

Attending SAA meetings starts us on a new way of life, but while the SAA fellowship supports our recovery, the actual work of recovery is described in the Twelve Steps. Meetings are forums for learning how to integrate the steps into our lives. Working the Twelve Steps leads to a spiritual transformation that results in sustainable relief from our addiction.

1. We admitted we were powerless over addictive sexual behaviour — that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we understood God.
4. Made a fearless and searching moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked God to remove all our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to all such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God's will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other sex addicts and to practise these principles in all areas of our lives.
