A very in-depth tool book of recovery for sexual addiction.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hope and Recovery: A Twelve Step Guide for Healing From Compulsive Sexual Behavior (Paperback)
Hope & Recovery is the current basic text of SAA (Sex Addicts Anomyous, a twelve-step group for sexually recovering people). The book is designed for individuals who feel that they are sexually compusive and are looking for information on the addictive disease and "tools" to use to become and remain free from sexual addiction. Each of the twelve steps is explained in detail on how they can be lived daily for sexual recovery. A number of individuals tell their own experiences of how they lived their disease, discovered the hope of the program, and how they are currently living a life of recovery. The book is well written, sensitive, hopeful, and a continual must read through the journey of recovery. Definately Hope & Recovery.

4.0 out of 5 stars
It's not the basic text of SAA,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hope and Recovery: A Twelve Step Guide for Healing From Compulsive Sexual Behavior (Paperback)
I was checking out some recovery books on Amazon and noticed this review about "Hope and Recovery". I'm a member of Sex Addicts Anonymous and "Hope and Reovery" IS NOT the basic text of that fellowship. It is read, but it's not the basic text. If you read the Steps and Traditions in the book, and really the rest of the book, nowhere is Sex Addicts Anonymous ever mentioned in those pages. I'm not saying "don't read Hope and Recovery," I just want to make it clear that it's not the basic text of SAA. "Hope and Recovery" is a good read especially if you're a sex addict seeking recovery. It's a great book to "identify" with the problem of sex addiction. What has helped me in my recovery program with sex addiction, however, is reading the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and the AA "Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions"--the start of all 12-Step recovery programs. Though not an alcoholic, I can translate the problem as well as the solution to my sex addiction and my recovery from it, one day at a time. I use these two books more than I use "Hope and Recovery."

Basic Text of SCA, not SAA,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hope and Recovery: A Twelve Step Guide for Healing From Compulsive Sexual Behavior (Paperback)
Just as claraification: This book was written by anonymous members of the group Sexual Compulsives Anonymous (SCA) and is the basic text of that group. I am a member of SCA and I have found this book extremely helpful. I would recommend it to anyone, both on the basis of a standalone book and and a possible introduction to what SCA is about.
