1. We are Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) groups who, like many SAA Founders, use the text of Alcoholics Anonymous (a.k.a., the Big Book) to work the Twelve Steps of SAA and to carry the SAA message of recovery from sex addiction.

2. Our groups faithfully follow the Twelve Traditions of SAA. We also study the Long and Short forms of the Twelve Traditions of AA from which the SAA Traditions were adapted, for a deeper understanding of their application.

3. Our published meetings are one of five types, all of which focus on the SAA message of recovery: Big Book study, Foundation, Step or Tradition study/presentation and Speaker’s story.

4. We keep outside issues like politics, religion, and other approaches to recovery outside of our published meetings.

5. The trusted servants of our groups serve their group conscience. The trusted servants of our Intergroup serve our member groups and their group conscience.
