Hello all. My WW and I attended an Al-Anon meeting this morning as we have a son who is presently in rehab for substance abuse. He is working on his recovery as are we on our recovery.
I am in recovery on two levels: recovery from the A and recovery from my son's addiction. The two are so intertwined for me (with crossover triggers).
I've been thinking about this for a while but I can definitely see how the 12 steps can also help in recovery from infidelity.
I came across infidelity survivors anonymous (ISA) online and called in this past week. There is presently only one in person meeting in TX with a national phone-in meeting on Thursday nights. Just curious if anyone else has experience with ISA. Also, I'm interested in the application of the 12 steps to infidelity recovery. Thanks.

I don't know anything about ISA, but I bought a 12-step workbook at a library sale for fifty cents. The exercises in the book looked interesting and WH and I were going to try them out as a way of confronting infidelity issues.
I'd be curious to know how the ISA meetings go, too.
