PO Box 1980

I have been meaning to write to the Grapevine for a long time and I guess the article "Pass the Tissues, I've Got Issues" gave me the motivation to do it. As a recovering alcoholic, who happens to be a gay male, I can't stress enough the importance of gay special-interest meetings, in addition to non-special-interest meetings. This is partly due to some of the very issues brought up in the article. An important part of my recovery has been the ability to tell my story, unabridged. Due to my own character defects and my perception that there are prejudices in the world, I find this difficult to do at non-special-interest groups.
