What Kind of Literature Do I Want for
the Meeting?
Pick literature that has helped you. Choose
literature that would be appropriate for the kind of meeting you want.
The literature you choose will probably set the mood for the meeting.
Here is a small list of some literature you may find helpful.
Written by members of SCA
These have been pre-approved for use at meetings
and are published by SCA's International Service Organization: (See our
Literature area for placing orders
and prices).
- SCA: A Program of Recovery (the "Blue Book" )
- Secret Shame
- Q&A: A Guide to Newcomers
- What About Masturbation?
- For the Newcomer
- The SCA Four-Fold
- International Meeting List
Other 12-Step Literature
These are not pre-approved by the members of SCA.
However, many members have found them helpful and inspiring, and they
are therefore listed here for use at your discretion. The links
are to sites where the publications can be purchased or accessed online
and are provided for convenience only: SCA has a policy against
endorsing outside enterprises of all kinds.
-
Hope & Recovery
-
Hazelden meditation books
- Alcoholics Anonymous (the AA "Big Book" )
- AA
12 Steps & 12 Traditions
- Other 12-Step workbooks and books on recovery
from sex addiction.
At meetings, the SCA four-fold is generally handed
out free of charge. You may wish to use the four-fold until the
meeting's treasury has grown in size and the meeting can afford to
purchase copies of the Blue Book, Secret Shame and Q&A. Or you may opt
to front the money yourself and be reimbursed once the meeting treasury
is large enough. Once people in the meeting purchase these materials,
the money then goes to the Treasurer to be kept in the meeting treasury.
To order literature,
fill out the literature order found by clicking on the link and mail to
the following address:
SCA Literature Orders
P.O. Box 1585, Old Chelsea Station,
New York, NY 10011
USA
You can also order
literature online.
Does Literature Need to Be Pre-Approved?
No. However, SCA does offer and recommend
pre-approved literature if you're not sure what literature would be
appropriate for the meeting.
Will ISO or Intergroup Front the
Literature at the Outset?
No. ISO and Intergroup do not supply the money for
literature purchases.
If you want to use a book or some more expensive
material at the meeting, and the meeting cannot yet afford to purchase
the books, you may:
- front the money yourself and seek reimbursement
directly from people in the meeting;
- wait until the meeting treasury has grown and
then use that money to purchase the books; or
- have each person responsible for going out and
buying a copy.
