The Twelve Steps of Sex Industry Survivors Anonymous (SISA)

These are the steps that made our recovery possible:

1. We admitted we were powerless over our addiction, and that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God, as we understood God.

4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7. We humbly asked our higher power to remove our shortcomings.

8. We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. We made amends to others whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. We continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, we promptly admitted it.

11. We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood God, praying only for knowledge of God’s will for us, and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry the message to other sex industry survivors and to practice these principles in all areas of our lives.

There are online discussion groups.  A recovery textbook is in the making, as well as other pieces of literature.
