In this episode, Chris from Australia joins me as a guest speaker and talks to us about 12-step programs as well as sexual recovery programs, like Sexaholics Anonymous (SA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA), among others.How did 12-step programs evolve throughout the years and what do they entail? Who are "sponsors" and how do they support us with our recovery? What are some of the different sexual recovery programs out there, and how do they help us in our journeys of abstinence from sex, masturbation and/or pornography? These and other questions are explored in this episode.Links to resources mentioned in the episode:- "A Gentle Path Through the Twelve Steps" by Patrick Carnes- Alcoholics Anonymous “Big Book”, 12 Steps and 12 Traditions- SA, Sexaholics Anonymous webpage- Same-sex lust recovery in Sexaholics Anonymous- Sexaholics Anonymous White Book- SLAA, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous webpage- SLAA Signs of Recovery- SAA, Sex Addicts Anonymous webpage
