Errata

The following Literature Committee approved revisions to the First Edition of Sex Addicts Anonymous were inadvertently omitted from the First Printing of the Second Edition:

(Note: Numerical references are to page, paragraph, and line.)

15.2.2

What may be healthy for one member could be clearly addictive for another. SAA simply cannot predict every possible way of acting out and define them all for everyone. As a fellowship, we wouldn't want to deny that any particular behavior might be acting out for a member.

16.3.5 (Insert after "…acting out.")

These are the behaviors that we identify, with our sponsor's guidance, as addictive, harmful, or unacceptable for us.

17.1.3

We may, for instance, list pornography in our inner circle if it takes up too much of our time…

19.4.3

Examples may include working our recovery program, rediscovering hobbies we once enjoyed, playing sports and exercising, spending time with friends and family, socializing and making new friends in a safe environment, volunteering our time to a cause we believe in, or engaging in any other activities which make our lives more enjoyable and meaningful.

19.5.3

Examples might include dating, safe and loving sex within a committed relationship, non-compulsive masturbation, taking a dance class, wearing attractive clothes, or enjoying affectionate touch.

22.1.5

The actions of the steps often involve the completion of specific tasks, such as writing lists, that require an honest examination of ourselves and our way of life.

27.2.9

In essence, our shared experience of this Power is one of loving and caring.

33.5.1

Examining our sexual conduct is an important aspect of our inventory.

34.2.1

We also inventory our resentments.

34.3.6 (insert after "…another person's actions.")

Some of us have also listed resentments against society or certain institutions.

46.2.7

The point is to make the list as complete as possible, trying not to leave anyone out.

49.3.1

We work this step only when we have a strong foundation built on the preceding steps.

52.3.4

We may each find different ways to set aside this time, and different methods for taking stock.

64.4.2

We learn how to let other people know how we wish to be treated and what kinds of behavior we will and will not accept.

78.1.3

We need sponsors and other recovering addicts to guide us through the steps of the program.

The Literature Committee of the ISO of SAA wishes to express sincere regrets for any inconvenience caused by these omissions.
