I recently went to hear John Bradshaw speak. The nationally known author had plenty to say about affairs. as his talk focused on ‘rigorous honesty’. He addressed his own affairs, and what he found to be motivating them. One of the points that I found of interest was that he mentioned his own sexual addiction existed prior to his alcoholism. I suspect as mental health people and the recovery community begins exploring the issues behind affairs and substance abuse, they will find many cases of sexual addiction. The sexual addiction does not make their actions more acceptable, it only provides better understanding behind their actions.
