Although some of our reading nights may focus on the experience of being queer, the main focus of our sharing is recovery from sex and love addiction. All Are Welcome!
SLAA Gay and Queer Men’s Meeting 8:00PM (PST) Tuesdays

IN-PERSON: Those who wish to attend in person can find the meeting at the California-Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) Bernal Heights Campus at 3555 Cesar Chavez Street (near Valencia).
Three important points to keep in mind:

The main entrance at 3555 Cesar Chavez closes at 6 pm. For our 8 pm meeting, you will need to walk up the outside stairway to the Emergency Room Entrance at the back of the Campus (or you can simply go directly to the Emergency Entrance at 27th and San Jose streets). After you pass through Security, you will be directed back down the internal stairs to the meeting location.
For security reasons, the Hospital requires all attendees to identify themselves. Newcomers will need to show ID and give their full name. Those who attend the meeting regularly will have their names placed on an attendance list. Members attending the meeting in person should tell the Security Personnel that they are going to the men’s meeting in Room 160A. We will, of course, continue to use only first names in the meeting itself.
Those attending the meeting in person may need to wear a mask. This requirement comes from the Hospital, and applies to all visitors.

South SF: Safe Arrivals
2026-05-14 13:30 - 14:45, 2026-05-21 13:30 - 14:45 (America/Los_Angeles) | West Bay Alano Club, 216 Mosswood Way, South San Francisco, United States
Safe Arrivals is a weekly meeting with a primary focus on recovery from emotional, social, sexual, and work-related anorexia — patterns of withdrawal, avoidance, and difficulty giving or receiving nourishment in life.
Many people who struggle in these ways do not identify with common descriptions of sex or love addiction. Some have little relationship history at all, yet experience:

Chronic isolation or loneliness
Fear of closeness, exposure, or vulnerability
Emotional numbing or detachment
Reliance on fantasy instead of real connection
Disappearing or withdrawing when stress increases
Avoidance of people, places, and situations that might be triggering
Difficulty sustaining meaningful work, self-care, or daily structure

In SLAA, these patterns are understood as part of the same illness — often described as anorexia, a compulsive restriction of emotional, relational, sexual, or life nourishment.
This can include work anorexia, such as:

Avoidance of necessary work tasks or career development
Acting-in behaviors that block productivity or forward movement
Cycles of procrastination, paralysis, or shutdown
Difficulty tolerating evaluation, responsibility, or visibility
Neglect of health, finances, or daily self-maintenance

Avoidance may once have served as protection from overwhelm, trauma, or shame, but over time it can become a life strategy that deepens isolation and reduces freedom.
Safe Arrivals aims to provide a calm, structured, trauma-informed environment where recovery can begin at a manageable pace. The emphasis is on stability, consistency, and rebuilding capacity for connection, responsibility, and participation in life.
You do not need to use any specific label to attend. If patterns of withdrawal or restriction are causing suffering, you are welcome.
