Welcome to S-Anon
We warmly welcome all who seek recovery from the effects of someone else's sex addiction. In S-Anon, you will find love and support as you begin your journey toward recovery.
No matter what you are feeling—whether angry, fearful, or hopeless—we want you to know that you are not alone. We have found that there is no situation too difficult to be bettered and no unhappiness too great to be lessened. S-Anon can help you take positive action toward recovery and peace.
S-Anon Traditions
Tradition 3
The relatives of sexaholics, when gathered together for mutual aid, may call themselves an S-Anon Family Group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation. The only requirement for membership is that there be a problem of sexaholism in a relative or friend.
Tradition 5
Each S-Anon Family Group has but one purpose: to help families of sexaholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps of S-Anon, by encouraging and understanding our sexaholic relatives, and by welcoming and giving comfort to the families of sexaholics.

"Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life."
Since joining S-Anon, I have learned healthy behaviour in daily and special circumstances. Recovery has given me stability through working on my steps every day and applying the steps and traditions in all facets of my life. By believing in a power greater than myself, I gained confidence. Through a fellowship of kind, recovering people, I never felt alone again. Recovery became my greatest adventure—and that adventure is my beautiful life, always one day at a time, together with my Higher Power and my friends in S-Anon.
"Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace within the storm."
Safety is not the absence of threat—it is the presence of connection. And that is exactly why the S-Anon fellowship is so invaluable to me. As soon as I became part of the S-Anon fellowship, for the first time in my life, I was able to connect with people who knew exactly where I was coming from, who could relate to the problems I had been dealing with my whole life as a result of the effects of sex addiction. I felt like I was coming home and out of isolation.
