Accessing SCA Online and Telephone MeetingsThe gateway to the online meetings is located in the members-only area. Once you have the User Name and Password, you can click on the online meetings link and go to the available meetings. To obtain the user name and password, click here for a form that sends an email to a volunteer from the Online Meetings. In sending the email, you are acknowledging either that you are a member of SCA or that you qualify for membership in SCA. (The Third Tradition states that "the only requirement for SCA membership is a desire to stop having compulsive sex.") The volunteer will respond with the User Name and Password. Both the User Name and Password need to be entered in all-capital letters to work. Please note that SCA's online meetings take the form of continuously functioning chat boards.
SCA's Online Intergroup hosts a telephone meeting on Sundays at 4pm New York time. See the International Meeting List for information on this meeting. You may reserve a space on the call by completing this form.
See below for information on telephone meetings offered by other sexual recovery fellowships.
It only takes two people to have an SCA meeting, but starting it is another story. These basic guidelines and questions are designed to assist you in starting a meeting of Sexual Compulsives Anonymous. You may order a "starter kit" that includes a booklet with this material plus (a) the yellow SCA four-fold, (b) a copy of the SCA “Blue Book,” (c) a copy of Secret Shame, and (d) a copy of Q&A. All of these materials were compiled and produced by members of SCA. If you are interested in starting an SCA meeting in your area where there are no SCA meetings and would like to know if others nearby you are also interested, complete a form that will send an email to the SCA International Service Organzation. The form will ask for your first name and last initial, your city or town, and an email address for others in your area to contact you. A volunteer will respond and will assist you in starting an SCA meeting in your area.. A Quick Guide to This Material
Congratulations!The Twelve Traditions of SCA form the framework for all SCA meetings and our community. Our First Tradition states, "Personal recovery depends upon SCA unity." You are weaving a very important part of that unity by starting a meeting in your community. You are encouraged to read the Twelve Traditions as a means of laying the roots of a meeting and your recovery in healthy soil. You are taking a very helpful and encouraging step
toward your recovery, as well as strengthening the well-being of our
program and its outreach services. So, when someone calls us and asks, "Do
you have a meeting in my area?" we can proudly say, "YES!" -- all because
of your efforts. Thank you! Face-to Face and Online Meetings of Other Sexual Recovery FellowshipsThere are four other anonymous sexual recovery fellowships besides SCA. These are Sex Addicts Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, Sexaholics Anonymous, and Sexual Recovery Anonymous. These fellowships vary somewhat in their philosophies of recovery and in what sort of sexually compulsive behavior they choose to emphasize, but recovery in each is patterned after the 12 Steps and 12 Traditions pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous. While all of these organizations are separate from one another, SCA cooperates with them in the spirit of facilitating recovery for those who still suffer from sexually compulsive behavior. Because several of these fellowships began regionally within the U.S., they remain strongest in certain regions of the country. Depending on where you live in the U.S., there may be face-to-face meetings of fellowships other than SCA available to you, so check each link above to find meetings of these fellowships in your location. Outside of the U.S., face-to-face meetings of the various fellowships have begun in many countries. Each fellowship lists their international meetings, so check each fellowship's website to determine if there are face-to-face meetings in your location. Two fellowships, Sex Addicts Anonymous and Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, sponsor telephone conference call meetings. Follow the links in this paragraph to find information on the times of these meetings and how to access them. Descriptions of each of the sexual recovery fellowships may be found here. Descriptions of fellowships aimed to help spouses, partners, and others concerned about someone who exhibits sexually compulsive behavior may be found here. There is also a centralized database of meeting information located at the S-Fellowships website. You may be able to find information there, though the most up-to-date information will still be available at each individual fellowship's website. All the best for finding meetings to assist you in recovering from sexually compulsive behavior.
