Get Real

Recovering alcoholics almost never talk about sex in meetings. I like to attend meetings based on the Big Book or the "Twelve and Twelve." Because these books discuss sex, the topic eventually comes up. Usually a few joking comments are made and then the discussion moves on to something more comfortable. That is unfortunate, because one of the hallmarks of those suffering from alcoholism is the difficulty we have in forming relationships, at least until our spiritual recovery is well underway.
