Alcohol and infidelity

[Sandrea of the light]

Being alcoholic and putting ourselves in dangerous situtions, being in the wrong place at the right time, or a million other crazy scenarios. Cheating and infidelity can and do occur.

After driving my husband away for most of this past summer, with my outragious drinking behavior. He simply left on his bike and didn't look back. He found another woman to drown his sorrow with.
I sobered up and he came home. With the help of AA and therapy, we are working on all of the issues (mainly drinking) and how it destroyed us.

I'm just curious if anyone else has had simular experiences and how you may have handled them.

Yes, I did have similair experinces..I cheated on my ex-husband drink many times. We are now divorced becasue of it. I do regret doing that, however I think everyhting happens for a reason, I am now with a man that is helping to try and quit drinking. I am having a difficult time, ifI would of styed with my ex I would of been worse, for he was an alcholic also?

I never cheated while drunk, but I guess that's b/c once a passed the first few beers----sex wasn't going to be satisfying for me anyway!! So there was no point.....

Wow, if someone I was committed to cheated b/c I was a drunk----I'm not sure how I would take that....probably clean myself up, by getting sober and moving on.......I think cheating happens for many reasons, but, for me---if someone cheated on me----I pretty much would figure he was not "in it" with me anymore...

You are a very brave and forgiving woman....I don't think I would be so forgiving!
