As stated in the original post, SLPAA is a new fellowship in progress currently under development and being piloted in Athens, GA. Its development is best explained via the following brief references to what many consider the two primary "S" fellowships (i.e. Sex Addiction 12-Step programs)*:

Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) - The original sex addiction fellowship. It is a very strong fellowship and has helped countless people.

Sex & Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) - A similar fellowship to SAA, however it has the key difference of acknowledging "love addiction" as distinct from "sex addiction". Their answer to the question "What is the difference between SAA and SLAA?" posted on the FAQ section of their website is as follows: "We are all Twelve Step programs focusing on sexual addiction. S.L.A.A. includes love addiction, relationship, and sexual anorexia" (SLAA, 2014).

Sex, Love, & Pornography Addicts Anonymous (SLPAA) is designed to follow the same evolutionary model, bringing "pornography addiction" up to parity with "sex addiction" and "love addiction". This is an important, but yet largely unacknowledged distinction. There is a great article addressing this difference on the website yourbrainonporn.com titled"Porn Addiction is Not Sex Addiction--And Why It Matters".

Many people, frequently Millennial's, who do not relate with the concept of or identify as a "sex addict" or "love addict". If you ask them about pornography problems, however, they will be quick to say "OMG yes, I'm a total porn addict! Where do I go?" SLPAA is being designed to meet that need.

Sex, Love, and Porn Addicts Anonymous (SLPAA) was a new 12-step fellowship piloted in Athens, GA in 2014-2015. Unfortunately, the group disbanded after ~18 months due to a loss of meeting space. The model was a success, however, and interested persons are free to download the readings via the following links: Meeting Format, 12-Steps, Guidelines for Sharing, Sobriety & Chips.

Fortunately for the recovery community, a Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) group has taken its place. The Downtown Athens SAA group meets on the grounds of Emmanuel Episcopal Church (498 Prince Ave) at 7:00PM on Mondays. The group meets in the small brick bldg, on the north side of Prince, located between the church and the small white cottage with a sign "Thrift Store." Parking is behind the brick building. Please enter from the rear, or parking lot side. All are welcome, regardless of race, creed, gender, or sexual orientation. For questions, you can contact the group directly.
