Intimacy During Recovery

[Matt1234]

Is it in any way a good idea to be intimate with my wife during the process of recovery? I realize that it is a focus question. If the energy is focused on the relationship instead of in other directions, meaning addiction, can it be beneficial?

It can be. My husband and I did a lot of kissing hello and goodbye, hugging, and sitting next to each other also holding hands. So that there was non-sexual touching which helped change the thoughts of porn. We talked about when was the right time. The intimacy helped. Just as long as it does not lead you back to porn.
