Alcoholism Recovery in the Gay and Lesbian Community
While alcoholism crosses all sexual orientations, gay and lesbian alcoholics in recovery often face unique challenges.
Professional assistance may be sometimes tainted by the prejudices of those providing it, or at a minimum be limited by the caregivers’ lack of knowledge of those aspects of gay society that distinguish it from the larger straight community.
These limitations may become more pronounced when one seeks assistance from mainstream sobriety self-help groups, where prejudices and lack of knowledge can be more glaring in lay men and women who, though sober, lack professional helping skills.
