Like Alcoholics Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous is not a religious program – but it does encourage spirituality. We also know that many people come to the program with deep hurts and wounds and spiritual abuse inflicted by their parents, traditional religions and institutions.
Here you will find some of the prayers that SLAA uses in its program or that members have found helpful. Prayers are addressed to your own Higher Power – however you understand that God or Spirit or Power to be.
