The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of S-Anon: A Brief Summary

by S-Anon International Family Groups

Overview

This booklet provides a summary of the main ideas underlying each of the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions.

The S-Anon 12 Steps are the foundation of our personal growth and recovery. The principles of the 12 Steps are applicable to all of us regardless of our various beliefs. When practiced as a way of life, these spiritual principles can help us to meet and rise above many difficulties in our lives – not only those associated with living with or having lived with sexaholism.

The S-Anon 12 Traditions are spiritual guidelines that foster harmony within individual S-Anon groups, throughout S-Anon as a whole, and in all our relationships. These principles arose from the experience of S-Anon groups. They are the means by which S-Anon maintains its unity and relates to the world around it.

Note: 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. Find additional S-Anon Family Groups resources and literature 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.
