NEWCOMERS ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND ANY MEETING UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED

1. Meetings are generally about 1 hour long and are open to anyone with a desire to stop living out a pattern of sex & love addiction. See MEETINGS for more information, times, and locations.

2. If you're not sure whether SLAA is for you, we suggest starting with the 40 Questions for Self-Diagnosis and the Characteristics of Sex & Love Addiction. It is also suggested that Newcomers attend 6 meetings to decide if the program is right for you.

3. As a Newcomer we ask that you not contribute financially at your first meeting - it is a gift to you. No person is required to donate at any meeting, and no one will be turned away for lack of contribution. You are also not required to share; you are welcome to attend and only listen to the readings and others' shares.

4. Pamphlets are available at most meetings (most meetings do not charge, some will charge $1) and contain more information about various topics regarding this addiction; some meetings also carry copies of the SLAA text for purchase at cost. Phone lists are also available at meetings; we suggest getting numbers of others in SLAA to support your own recovery journey.

5. SLAA is a spiritual program of recovery with no religious affiliation and ANONYMITY is its essential foundation: Who you see here, what you hear here, let it stay here when you leave here
