Sobriety and Sexual Desire
I am the girlfriend of a recovering alcoholic. While he was drinking our sex life was incredible. We would have sex at least twice a day and sometimes we would have marathons when he was on his "benders".
He has now been sober for 5 months. He is currently not working, goes to about 3 meetings a week , naps for a couple of hours everyday and our sex life is completely non-existent. However, he does continue to look at porn - but I'm not sure how frequent that is.
Is this normal behavior for a recovering alcoholic? As a family member I am really struggling with this.
Thanks in advance. This has crushed my self esteem and I don't know how much longer I can take it.
