Sexual Recovery Groups Like SA, SAA, SLAA, SCA, etc.

In 1973, the Reverend Troy Perry of Metropolitan Community Church in Los Angeles gave us a meeting place for the first Sexual Recovery Group. It was before the term "sex addict" was used and we named the group Sexual Compulsives Anonymous. Though not exclusively for gay people, most of us had that or bi-sexual backgrounds. It was not a group for people who had happy and well-adjusted sex lives. It was for those of who had found our sexual acting out to be causing big problems in our lives. We adapted the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and used them to the best of our abilities to change the destructive patterns of our sexual behavior.
