S-Ateen: What It's Like To Be Me

by S-Anon International Family Groups

Overview

Collective stories shared by S-Ateen members offer hope to young people who have been affected by the sexual behavior of a relative or friend. S-Ateen members share on common problems including:

• Covering up their feelings.
• Not asking for help.
• Trying to escape their own problems with compulsive behavior,
• Worrying that they may be the cause of the sexaholic's behavior.

Further, S-Ateen members share the benefits they have received from attending S-Ateen meetings such as understanding the impact of growing up in a sexaholic home, feeling relief and peace of mind, learning to have healthy conversations and resolve disagreements, and more.

Note: The S-Ateen Fellowship welcomes young people, ages 12-19, who have been affected by the sexual behavior of someone close to them. S-Ateen meetings are guided by certified adult S-Ateen Group Sponsors and follow the S-Ateen 12 Steps and 12 Traditions. Find this eBook and additional literature in print version at www.sanon.org.

About the Author

The S-Anon International Family Groups are a worldwide fellowship of the relatives and friends of sexually addicted people. S-Anon is a 12 Step program based on the 12 Steps and the 12 Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.

S-Anon Family Groups are for those who are hurting in response to the sexual addiction of someone close to them. It does not matter whether that person is a family member, a partner, spouse, child, or someone outside the family like a friend, teacher, or boss. Sexaholism can affect anyone.

S-Anon is for people of all sexual orientations, genders, denominations, and races, those in a relationship or not, parents, children, relatives, friends and others whose lives have been affected by another person’s sexual behavior. The only requirement for S-Anon membership is a problem of sexaholism in a family member or friend.

We have found that attending S-Anon meetings regularly is a vital part of the S-Anon Program. S-Anon groups meet weekly as a way for members to share their experience, strength, and hope. Our meetings are free to attend and are not allied with any particular religion or organization. Meeting information can be found at www.sanon.org.

S-Anon literature represents the S-Anon point of view regarding our recovery and the effects of another person’s sex addiction. Our literature is written by S-Anon members and offers our common experience about recovery from the family disease of sex addiction. Our literature, including S-Anon Twelve Steps and Working the S-Anon Program, can be purchased from our online store at www.sanon.org.

Note: There is also S-Ateen, a Twelve Step recovery program for young people ages 12-19 who have been affected by the sexual behavior of someone close to them. More information about S-Ateen can be found at www.sanon.org/teen-newcomers.
