The Conference Fantasy Committee (CFaC) was formed at S.L.A.A.'s 2025 Annual Business Conference/Meeting to support individuals who identify fantasy as a key factor in their sex and love addiction.

The CFaC has partnered with the Greater Delaware Valley Intergroup during the 2026 International Recovery Convention to present a full day of speakers, workshops, and fellowship. We hope you will join us!

Registration Information - Click Here to Sign up!

Registration for the CFaC Forum is handled through the regular IRC sign-up process. You do not need to attend the IRC to participate in the CFaC Forum (but we hope you will attend both!)

The registration fee for in-person participation is $75. The registration fee covers our facility usage expenses, technology fees, a catered lunch, and post-event access to most speaker and workshop recordings. It's important to note that Friday dinner is not currently included in the registration fee, and participants will have the option to choose their own activity or participate in Friday group events, featuring a variety of Downtown Baltimore stops.

The registration fee for virtual participation is $50, and includes everything except lunch. But, you're going to want to arrange for lunch prior to the forum, so you don't miss out on live streamed lunch plenary speakers.

We will explore types of fantasy addiction (sexual, romantic, reconciliation, etc.), and dangers and consequences of fantasy addiction. We will review current literature on fantasy for sex and love addicts. Participants will be able to work with study questions for the characteristics of fantasy and signs of recovery from fantasy for sex and love addicts. Participants will learn tools for recovery from fantasy addiction.

3:30 p.m. Break

3:45 p.m. "Sacred Fantasies: Using the 3-3-3 and other fantasy inventories to heal" - Claudia A.  (2.5 hours)
Our fantasies are more than idle daydreams; they are sacred doorways to healing, holding clues about our fears, resentments, unmet needs, and original wounds. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore practical inventory tools, including the 3-3-3 Inventory and the "Where Was I When…" Inventory, to uncover the deeper emotional truths woven into their fantasy life. Participants should come ready to write, reflect, and share in a safe and supportive space. Virtual participants should plan on having a paper notebook (use of a computer is discouraging.)
➡ Claudia A. is a recovering sex and love addict, sober in SLAA since 2018. She is a member of the Fantasy Literature Group and serves on the Board of Publications and Distribution Committee (BPDC). She is also actively involved in translating SLAA literature into Spanish.
