Thanks so much for bringing this up. My husband tours w/a band for a living & has been gone for the entire time of my new-found sobriety (45 days now - it's a tough life at times). On the one hand I think it's been helpful to do this entirely on my own, but on the other I'm anxious for when he returns to see how our sex life changes. I know it will.

For me, it's the thought of sober intimacy & closeness that's a little intimidating. Alcohol always helped me throw my inhibitions out the window. Unfortunately it also made me embarrassingly pass out at in opportune times as well. My attitude toward sex is definitely changing. When I think about it now it's more about being close to my husband...intimate & sweet. Not like 2 animals going at it or me trying to act like someone I'm not because my judgement is cloudy.

Thanks for starting this thread. I'm interested to hear what others say/think and to read more responses from women.
