International Conventions
Every six months (January and July) S-Anon holds a
three-day convention, traditionally in conjunction with Sexaholics
Anonymous. The location is
different for each gathering, and S-Anon members from the United States,
Canada and all over the world attend to share their experience,
strength, and hope. These conventions are a wonderful opportunity to
experience the strength and unity of S-Anon as an International
Fellowship. Conventions are
open only to those affected by sexaholism.
During conventions, a special effort is made to help
newcomers (those who have been in the program less than three
months) feel welcome. There are always newcomers at conventions.
Some may be attending their first S-Anon meetings the weekend of
the convention. Special meetings and one-on-one sessions
with temporary sponsors are available to ask questions. Other
types of meetings held during the convention usually include:
§ S-Anon breakout meetings focusing on various topics (open
only to those affected by sexaholism).
§ S-Anon
couples meetings. These
are special S-Anon meetings, with a focus on the committed relationship.
§ Couples panels consisting of two or three couples who share their
experience, strength and hope on a planned topic.
§ Joint SA/S-Anon
sessions where both an experienced S-Anon member and an
experienced SA member share their recovery with the group.
§ S-Ateen meetings,
available to teenagers who are a friend or relative of a sexaholic.
§ S-Anon International Convention Business Meeting.
The Business Meeting allows S-Anon members from all over the
world to learn more about S-Anon beyond the group level.
All members of S-Anon
are welcome at the Business Meeting and are encouraged to attend, no
matter how long they have been in the program.
Local and Regional Weekend
Gatherings and Workshops
Some areas may hold periodic workshops or
weekend gatherings. >These
are a great place to meet other S-Anons who may have new and helpful
perspectives, and offer a great boost for the recovery of any S-Anon
member. S-Anon retreats, workshops or weekend gatherings are open
only to those affected by sexaholism. For information on events in your area, contact the World Service
Office.
