- The #SLAA Online Group meetings operate on United
States time meaning that we observe Standard Time and Daylight (Saving) Time.
Standard Time begins the last Sunday in October. Daylight Time begins the
first Sunday in April. The exception to this are the three Eleventh Step
Meetings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 10pm Sydney Australia Time.
Those three meetings observe the time changes of Australia.
- Anonymity
is the spiritual foundation of all our principles... Please remember:
who you see here; what you hear here; when you leave here, let it stay here.
Please help us to spread the word to local S.L.A.A. meetings about
online recovery: Back
to Top“F2F” is an acronym we use online to mean
“face-to-face” or local meetings. Two of our traditions state:
- 5) Each group has but one primary purpose — to carry its message
to the sex and love addict who still suffers.
- 11) Our public relations
policy is based on attraction rather than promotion.
Since we do not
advertise, one of the best ways to share the benefits of the #SLAA Online Group
is by making announcements about our online group at your local S.L.A.A. meetings. Some
meetings have a time that announcements may be offered or submitted ahead of time
in writing. Sometimes this is done more personally before or after a meeting
by mentioning how easy and beneficial participation in our group can be.
