The Service Group began in December 1987 as a cooperative statewide effort involving the seven Sexahholics Anonymous and Sex & Love Addicts Anonymous meetings at that time.  They hoped to create services collectively which none of them were getting done individually. 

1. A Statewide "Meetings List" for inquirers, helping professionals, newcomers is published quarterly to let people know what meetings were available and how to get in touch. Also, an up-to-the-minute Meeting List appears here in this website.

2.   This Website, providing information and directing inquirers to meetings.
   
   

3. A Phone Number with an answering machine   (303) 427-0176, as a way for members to help inquirers get to meetings. Volunteers relay messages to representatives from the various groups and ensure that the individual leaving a message is contacted within a reasonable period of time.  For other response numbers click here.

4. Statewide Conferences (Spring and Fall) so recovering people may share their experience, strength and hope.  Speakers from all the "S" fellowships have appeared by invitation since the first conference in August 1988.  Go to the Home Page for announcements of the next CSG conference.

5.   Literature Projects:
   

• Recovery Stories in this website, which supplement fellowship-wide literature.
Click here for those Stories.


• Comparisons of differing concepts of the "S" fellowships:

The Twelve Steps - A Comparison of all Ten "S" Fellowships... highlighting the ways they differ from the original AA version and each other.
Self -Discovery Tools - the questionnaire of each fellowship
Personal Obsessions (defined) - as expressed in the First Step of each of the "S" Fellowships
Recovery Goals (described for the fellowship) - as expressed in the Third Tradition of each of the "S" Fellowships. 


• Historical information:
  "Sex-Related 12-Step Programs - The International Fellowships - How They Started & Why They Differ.
"

During conferences, any "S" meeting may share with others the handouts they have created within their local group.

Colorado Service Group is careful to respect the differing beliefs and practices of the various fellowships, focusing on what all have in common.  Local meetings send "group service representatives", financial support, and provide details for the Meetings List, thereby maintaining their group autonomy.  CSG does not "govern"; rather it is governed by the local groups through their trusted servants.

MONTHLY BUSINESS MEETINGS

The CSG meets on the 1st Sunday afternoon of each month via audio conferencing to coordinate services provided to the member meetings. Being involved with persons from other meetings from across Colorado makes these gatherings a highlight of the month. Those friendships have become a backbone of stability for the small weekly meetings in each locale. CSG is a Colorado non-profit corporation with a 501(c)(3) tax status. The bylaws , board meeting minutes and financial statements for the past year are available in this website.
