Hello. New here. I'll tell my story briefly.

Sober from drugs and alcohol for 9 years. I'd like to think I am familiar with addictions, but that could be my addiction lying to me.

I have been in and out of relationships before and during my sobriety. All monogamous. Mostly before I was sober I have squeezed in a spectrum of sexual endeavors between relationships. During sobriety, I haven't had many endeavors outside of the 3 monogamous relationships I have been in and am currently in.

I met my wife just one month before asking her to marry me. I love her. I love our life. However, she sees sex and her body as sacred to us, while I am willing and excited to share myself ( and us ) with others. I've been very open and honest with telling her I may want to branch out sexually.

Now, being that I am in recovery for drugs and alcohol, I am aware that perhaps I might just be a sex addict. Maybe?

I want to keep the post PG-13, but can go deeper into how I handle these feelings if someone feels that will be helpful to understand me more.
