* Notes on the Early Growth and Origin of SAīecause SA's sobriety definition has clear roots in traditional Western morality, the movement has a great appeal to Evangelical Christians, Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholics and religious Jews. * Practical Guidelines for Group Recovery * SA for health and helping professionals * Step into Action: Four, Five, Six, Seven (work in progress) * Step into Action: One, Two, Three (work in progress) * Recovery Continues (also available on CD) In this sense, SA differentiates itself from other S-groups in having a more AA-style type of sobriety and view of relapses and thus the strictest kind of sobriety definition. SA seeks to be somewhat of a replica of AA, applying all of AA's principles to lust and sexual addiction. Some SA groups will refer to AA literature more often than to their own SA texts. Unlike SLAA, which considers the AA Big Book as containing some outdated ideas and old-fashioned concepts, SA fully accepts and unabashedly encourages all AA General Conference-approved literature for use in SA meetings.

According to the group, a sexaholic is someone for whom ' lust has become an addiction.' Thus SA distinguishes itself from other S groups by defining sexual sobriety as no sex with self or with partners other than their spouse. Collectively these groups are referred to as 'S' groups since all their acronyms begin with that letter: SA, SAA, SLAA, SCA, SRA. SA takes its place among various 12-step groups that seek recovery from sexual addiction: Sex Addicts Anonymous, Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous, Sexual Compulsives Anonymous and Sexual Recovery Anonymous.
