In Memory of Roy K.: The Founder of Our Fellowship and a Pioneer on Our Path to Recovery.

 oday, we commemorate the birthday of Roy K., the founder of Sexaholics Anonymous. Roy was not merely a sex drunk seeking recovery for himself; he was also a visionary—one who realized that his suffering was not unique and that many others like him lived in isolation and silence, searching for a way out of the tyranny of lust but finding none.

In 1979, the fellowship of Sexaholics Anonymous was born through his efforts, but it did not find its way easily. From the very beginning, Roy K. faced waves of doubt and resistance. He had to prove to the world the necessity and significance of our fellowship. Yet, he did not waver; he pressed on with unwavering determination, believing that salvation does not come through isolation but in finding companionship among those who share the same struggle and cling to the same passion for the solution. Today, decades after its founding, the fellowship has become a beacon of hope and transformation, where thousands have found a lifeline out of the bondage of lust—thanks to the efforts of Roy K. and those who believed in his sincere vision.

"I want to find my people!"—this is what Roy used to say. He laid the cornerstone of our First Step and Third Tradition, realizing that sex was merely a mirror reflecting our true illness, and that the real problem was lust. Sexual drunkenness had been a dark prison, where its inmates faced a slow death in miserable isolation.

Roy K. remained faithful to the definition of sobriety throughout his life. He never compromised on it, was passionate about the message, and sacrificed his money, time, and effort to bring the light of recovery to every lost sex drunk wandering in the jungle of lust.

On his birthday, we remember him with deep gratitude and appreciation. We move forward on his path, carrying the message of recovery and sobriety centered on God. For what he started was not merely an idea, but a revolution of hope and transformation—one that we continue together with every step toward recovery.
