Tonight at an LGBT Drop in where there is no drink or drugs people started talking about which bar they go to
Iv not been on the LGBT scene for a while since i married my husband its been more than 10 years and i Started thinking about going out on the scene asking my husband if we could go out once a month
I have problems with drink and drugs to the point where i was having blackouts
Now am thinking one drink will not hurt My husband shot that idea out of my head So NO DRINK OR DRUGS feel left out and upset
I want to go to the scene but i cant if i have a drink and drugs problem
miss the good time but most of it was me Drinking myself to oblivion and having to deal with the after effects
I miss it so much but maybe that is an excuse
my husband says av got to be able to be around people who drink maybe this is a bad idea

I'm gay also, and I haven't done the LGBT bar scene in a long time because I'm an alcoholic.

I'm well aware that the gay bar was the only place that gay people could socialize for many decades, but I've often found a glorification of alcohol (and other drugs).

Your husband is right that if you need to have a drink to socialize you should not go to any kind of bar. It sounds like you have a good hubby; listen to him.

My son has met all his partners through online gay dating chat lines and has been very successful at finding fine relationships without going to gay bars
Thanks for this!

Thank you for replying to me
I think you are all right ...the drop in is a alcohol free zone
there are groups but there not that much going on that we are at a free time because i have my 13 and 14 year old nieces for the weekend every 2nd Friday and they stay until Sunday
one group i want to go to is an transgender group my mother who is my nieces guardian think that me being transgender is a phase i didnt help with that as i was suppressing myself because of church
am longer suppressing myself
