Tough one buddy!

Whilst in rehab they ran a session on sex and addiction. It was fantastic.
The most pertinant advise was to NOT get into a relationship in the first 12 months. I got to meetings where a number of people have ignored this advise, and am blown away by the $hit that they have around them.

Secondly, I too find more solace with female recoverees than with my wife. They seem more tuned in to where we all are at, more undarstanding and caring. The ego feels good. But, they never carried the baggage that my wife did. So now it's my turn.

Time out to think seems a good idea.
