The Toronto group has decided to celebrate this occasion by going out for dinner and having a cake for dessert after their regular 6:30 p.m. meeting on Friday, November 7, 2025.

Anyone who has attended an SCA meeting in Toronto in the past is welcome to join this celebration. Please RSVP by October 31st at  scatoronto@hotmail.com  if you plan to attend. We hope to see as many members as possible there!

To mark this occasion, the group will also be publishing an updated summary history of SCA’s presence in Toronto, expanding on the original version that was submitted to ISO and published on the SCAnner in October, 2015.

Happy Anniversary Toronto!

 

What really causes Addiction?

A talk by Johann Hari suggests that everything you think you know about addiction is wrong.  As he has watched loved ones struggle to manage their addictions, he started to wonder why we treat addicts the way we do — and if there might be a better way.

The opposite of Addiction is not abstinence or sobriety. The opposite of Addiction is CONNECTION. In SCA we connect to others that share our addiction. We connect to a fellowship that supports us and we can connect to a Higher Power, a spirituality that unconditionally loves and guides us.

Could addiction be about isolation and being disconnected from society? Listen to this TED talk by Johann Hari for some interesting insights on this subject.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY9DcIMGxMs

Sex Anyone the Musical

        A new musical about sexual compulsion, “Sex Anyone,” will be presented in Los Angeles in a limited engagement the first two weekends in May. It’s about Mike, a sex addict looking for love. He’ll need a miracle to succeed — and he finds one.

The show centers around Sexual Obsessives Anonymous, a fictional 12-Step program. You’ll probably recognize your friends — or yourself — in its meetings. SCA members get a 20% discount using the code SOA20 before May 1. For information go to:  SexAnyoneTheMusical.com
