ABSTRACT
Sexual recovery fellowship groups are free to attend and are not led by professionals. They are made up of recovering addicts working together, sharing their trials, tribulations and failures, as well as their successes, hopes and victories in the process of recovery. There are two kinds of therapy. One is cognitive behavioural therapy, which is based upon the implementation of evidence-based protocols to help with specific disorders, while the other is a more general exploration into the construction of the self. Individual therapy should be used to augment other recovery work. Sexaholics Anonymous (SA) has a shared bottom line that one undertakes no sex with self or another outside of heterosexual marriage. Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) is a largely male fellowship. There are women who attend but not in great numbers. The last sexual recovery fellowship to be considered is Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA).
