Should I Have Sex With My Husband While He Is in Alcohol Recovery?

Question by lkps: Should I have sex with my husband while he is in alcohol recovery?
I have just recently left my husband to give him space to deal with his alcoholism. He is on the right path, and we have a good goal, for him to stay at our old house, sober and in treatment for 6 months, when he can move in with me and our kids if he is still sober and in treatment of course. My question is, should we be “dating” and having sex and hanging out even thought we are in separate homes and are leading separate lives at this point?
I ask because we are on the same page, we have the same goal and he is willingly admitting and working on his problem – so I want to keep the connection between us alive and healthy while he is in treatment… is that right or wrong?

Why not, it will distract him from wanting to drink.
