Confidentiality
SAA Scotland is an anonymous group. However, anonymity does not apply if you tell us you are involved in sexual violence or in any sexual activity involving minors. We will report any instances to the police.

What is SAA?

Sex addicts anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so they may overcome their sexual addiction and help others recover from sexual addiction or dependency.

SAA is founded on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and has similar traditions:

1.	Our common welcome should come first; personal recovery depends on SAA unity.
2.	For our group purposes, there is but one ultimate authority - a loving God as expressed in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants, they do not govern.
3.	The only requirement for SAA membership is a desire to stop addictive sexual behaviour.
4.	Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or SAA as a whole.
5.	Each group has but one primary purpose - to carry its message to the sex addict who still suffers.
6.	An SAA group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the SAA name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
7.	Every SAA group ought to be fully supporting, declining outside contributions.
8.	SAA should remain forever nonprofessional, but out service centres may employ special workers.
9.	SAA as such ought never be organised, but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
10.	SAA has no opinion on outside issues; hence the SAA name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
11.	Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, TV and films.
12.	Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions, ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
