Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) is an organization that describes itself as providing a twelve-step program for recovery from what it calls sex addiction. SAA takes its place among various 12-step groups that seek recovery from sexual addiction: Sexaholics Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, Sexual Compulsives Anonymous and Sexual Recovery Anonymous. Collectively these groups are referred to as "S" groups since all their acronyms begin with that letter: SAA, SA, SLAA, SCA, SRA.
There also exists a group called COSA, for family members of SAA members; as S-Anon has for family members of Sexaholics Anonymous, they are described as analogous to Al-Anon for family members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

Famous quotes containing the word addicts:
“It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality. There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
