Objective
Our objective is to provide a workshop where Steps 1 through 9 are worked in community with one another towards these goals:
- Demistify the Three Circles as a tool to help obtain and maintain abstinence from addictive sexual behavior
- Demistify the Steps as suggested in the Green Book
- Triage for the behaviors and patterns that we have trouble stopping
- Help potential SAA sponsors feel more confident in their role by providing a template anyone can use to start the steps
How do we do it?
Like most meetings, with a script, some readings, and some worksheets; with trusted servants to help guide our efforts.
All of the scripts, readings, and even the worksheets are provided here for you to preview, use them yourself, or create your own workshop meeting. Please take note that the script is adapted by our current Trusted Servant Presenter, you may need to make changes to make this format work for your meeting. Please be careful if adjusting worksheets or anywhere the Green Book is referenced, we want to be careful to adhere to our Traditions and ISO requirements for approved websites. If printing these worksheets and any part is cut off in the printing, others have experienced success by dowloading the reading or worksheet as a PDF; then, in Adobe, printing to a printer, making sure to select to skrink the PDF to the printable area of the page. Each of the links to documents below redirect to where the document is hosted in Google Docs. Please note, for the worksheets, examples from the Green Book have been adapted for the language of "I/me/my" where the Green Book often uses the language of "we/our."

- In Place of Literature cards: our literature says that every meeting should provide literature and meeting schedules, because of the specialized nature of this meeting, literature is not made available for sale, instead, we attach these cards to the worskheets to help paticipants find literature. In order to print these, we use Avery 8371 compatible business cards and print in Adobe without adjustments to scale or fit
