\n*The following material is taken from the SA Meeting Guide.\u00a0 Answers to many of the questions and issues often confronting new or established SA groups are suggested in this material.\u00a0 All members are urged to read what has proven to be of value in maintaining successful groups and good meeting quality.<\/p>\n
\nThe primary purpose of an SA group is “to carry its message to the sexaholic who still suffers” (Tradition 5).\u00a0 Traditionally, as with AA, any two or more sexaholics meeting for purposes of sexual sobriety by following the SA program may consider themselves an SA group, provided that as a group they have no affiliation with any outside enterprise or other fellowship and receive no outside support.\u00a0 The following are suggestions gained from our experience to date.<\/p>\n
\n1.\u00a0 Find a weekly meeting place and set the time.\u00a0 At first, this may be a private home or office, where anonymity and privacy can be assured.\u00a0 Churches are often willing to provide facilities.\u00a0 Check with churches and other organizations where other Twelve Step program meetings are held.\u00a0 Often such facilities are made available to other groups.\u00a0 Check with the SA Central Office.
\n2.\u00a0 Select a group secretary, treasurer, and literature chairperson.\u00a0 These are explained below.\u00a0 Members who accept these responsibilities serve the group; they do not govern, in accordance with Tradition Two.
\n3.\u00a0 Advise the SA Central Office of the name and phone number of the secretary and an alternate contact and meeting particulars.\u00a0 Each SA group should have at least one contact and one backup contact for the SA Central Office for referrals.\u00a0 Advise Central Office of changes.<\/p>\n
\nShould have successful sexual sobriety; length of that sobriety should be agreed upon by the group conscience.\u00a0 Suggested term of office is six months or a year, although each group is autonomous and may hold elections whenever it wishes.\u00a0 Rotating leadership is best.\u00a0 Secretary’s responsibilities include:
\n1.\u00a0 Selects a person or sees to it that a person is there to lead each meeting and provides that person with meeting format and literature.\u00a0 A good idea is to select the leader a week in advance.
\n2.\u00a0 Is responsible for the meeting place and notifying members.
\n3.\u00a0 Maintains communications with SA Central Office and notifies it of any changes.
\n4.\u00a0 Maintains communication with other nearby SA groups and SA as a whole.\u00a0 Announces SA conventions and get-togethers.
\n5.\u00a0 Sees to it that the Essay newsletter is available to all members.\u00a0 Each member may also ask to be placed on the Essay mailing list.
\n6.\u00a0 Handles necessary correspondence and phone calls or delegates these.
\n7.\u00a0 Calls business or group-conscience meetings.
\n8.\u00a0 Seeks to incorporate the principles of our Twelve Traditions into the spirit and activities of the group.<\/p>\n
\nShould have successful sobriety; length of that sobriety should be agreed upon by the group conscience.\u00a0 Same term of office as secretary.\u00a0 Responsibilities include:
\n1.\u00a0 Is custodian and disburser of money received by passing the basket at meetings.\u00a0 Collections are usually counted and recorded by the treasurer and one other member.
\n2.\u00a0 Keeps detailed accounts of group’s finances and reports on this at business meetings.
\n3.\u00a0 When directed by the group, sends regular group contribution to SA Central Office for national and world services.\u00a0 The fellowship has evolved a means of supporting its world services that is working.\u00a0 Individual groups, either at every meeting or on a regular basis, pass the basket around a second time, the proceeds of which go entirely to support the SA Central Office.\u00a0 Some groups have the policy that a certain percentage of excess money left over after paying all group expenses be sent regularly to the Central Office.\u00a0 All groups are urged to develop some means of contributing a share in our expanding worldwide Twelfth Step work.\u00a0 Such contributions support the work of the Central Office.\u00a0 SA is totally self-supporting.
\n4.\u00a0 All member contributions to Sexaholics Anonymous are tax-deductible, since SA is a nonprofit, exempt organization as registered with the U.S.\u00a0 Internal Revenue Service.\u00a0 For countries other than U.S.A., check appropriate ordinances.<\/p>\n
\nOrders literature from the SA Central Office and from A.A.\u00a0 Sees to it that meetings always have a supply of Sexaholics Anonymous, the SA brochure, Recovery Continues, and whatever other SA literature is available, such as Essay and Discovering the Principles.\u00a0 AA literature is the only non-SA material used in meetings.\u00a0 (See the article “Meeting Quality and Use of Non-SA Literature” in Discovering the Principles.)<\/p>\n
\nThis is a means for handling the group or inter-group business and policy matters in groups large enough to have one.\u00a0 Service on this committee, like most SA responsibilities, is on a rotating basis.\u00a0 All of the group officers are usually included on the steering committee, with as many other members added as needed.\u00a0 The steering committee serves the group or groups by providing a convenient experienced cross-section of sober group membership to take care of group(s) functioning.<\/p>\n
\nSome groups may find it convenient to have refreshment, setup, and cleanup committees.\u00a0 Some groups operate well with only a secretary and treasurer.\u00a0 The members of the group decide the service structure it needs.<\/p>\n
