actually, I never really had a sex drive when I was loaded...well loaded on opiates. In my early club days, ecstasy did bump up my mojo...

On opiates sex was just more of a chore. It lasted WAY to long and I hardly every got to finish...

Sex clean is a WHOLE lot better.

Agreed. I chose the opiates over sex. About 3 weeks after cleaning up you woulda thought that I was 14 again. I was a complete horndog for the first year. Sex is MUCH better without opiates.

Many addicts seem to associate drugs with sex it is also a very common reason why addicts who stop using drugs have problems with libido, it is also a common reason why many relapse..

Thank YOU PETER!!! This is a good thread for me for this is the main reason that I do relapse. I feel that I am sexually inadequate when I am clean. Also when I am using I don't have the moral issue to deal with. When I am high, all is OK, I don't have to feel the feeling that I have since childhood which also has to do with some sexual issues.

For this junkie, I know that when I score, of course my first thing after that is to get hold of some female friends and have fun and most of the time it does include sex. I am single, but even when I was married, this was one of the reasons that I used also. I am going to have to find out how to get this out of my mind in order for me to get permanent sobriety. This sure is a good topic for this addict!...Thanks

Vic

Well sure it is good to try and to find Healing. I am sure that going through the steps with this issue among others is the way to go for me anyway. Actually the sex/relationship issues are on the 4th step. When I did my fourth step not to long ago, my sponsor said that he has never seen such a thorough job. But he did notice that I left out of my fourth was the sex/relationship part. It is hard for me to admit some of the things that I have done. Pretty shameful at that, and it seems like that might be the reason for my relapses other than I JUST WANT TO GET HIGH.

Vic

PS I did notice that you posted this on other forums, I wasn't for sure if you know that you're not suppose to make double post. That is none of my business but I didn't know if you have read the rules and guidelines. OK again Thanks for the topic.

I wouldn't worry to much about that right now. If they want to delete them, (moderators) then they will so just keep what your doing right now and work on you. I know that you're helping me here. Thanks

(((Teke))),

Sweetie, I am not a mod, but I think your fine. If not one of them will pm you.
Just hang in there, you'll be okay. Don't give up. Keep fighting for yourself.
You will get through this.

Why hide? You are doing a lot of us good here, and I am sure that you're getting some positive things coming from this right? I know that it is hard Teke, but I know that WE can get through anything. Please don't be so hard on yourself...you're doing wonderful IMO>>>

Ahhh, I don't see it as a pity party, just you trying to figure something out. That's a good thing. You have to work through this stuff in order to move forward.

You WILL be okay, don't doubt that okay? You really will.

Deep breathes, and keep posting.

We're here for ya!~~
