Journey to the Sunlight of the Spirit

I was seven years old when my father began an affair with a woman he met in AA. Many years later, they had a child together. My parents were still married; my mother was also in the program. This affair impacted my family homeostasis and both my parents ended up relapsing. The affair was not the cause of their relapse—their lack of working a program was the reason. Despite all this history, I was 14 months sober when I entered an affair with a man I met at my meeting.
