Northeast Ohio Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous
One of the resources we draw on is our willingness to stop acting out in our own personal bottom line addictive behavior on a daily basis. In addition, members reach out to others in the fellowship, practice the Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of S.L.A.A. and seek a relationship with a higher power to counter the destructive consequences of one or more addictive behaviors related to sex addiction, love addiction, dependency on romantic attachments, emotional dependency, and sexual, social and emotional anorexia.
We find a common denominator in our obsessive/compulsive patterns which renders any personal differences of sexual or gender orientation irrelevant.
Members include both those who suffer from a compulsive need for sex as well as those with a desperate attachment to another person. What all members have in common is an obsessive/compulsive pattern, either sexual or emotional (or both), in which relationships or activities have become increasingly destructive to all areas of their lives, career, family, and sense of self respect.
The Northeast Ohio Intergroup of S.L.A.A. has created and maintains this web site to carry the message of recovery to the sex and love addict who still suffers. It does not speak for all of S.L.A.A., but reflects the experience, strength, and hope of our members.
