Description

We provide a supportive environment for men and women struggling with compulsive sexual and emotional behaviour.  Sex and 'love' addiction is an obsessive/compulsive pattern, either sexual or emotional (or both), in which relationships or sexual activities have become increasingly destructive to career, family and self respect.

SLAA (Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous) uses a 12-step, 12-tradition programme based on the model pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

Auckland and Wellington also run annual retreat weekends that allow for SLAA members, from across the country, to work on their recovery. Those who are further on the journey to recover share their experience, strength and hope.
