Gays, Lesbians, Bi-sexuals, and Transgendered persons experience addictions just as those who don't identify as a sexual minority. Some studies suggest that addiction rates are higher in these communities. What are the special issues that GLBT individuals grapple with, and how do these fit into personal and group recovery? This lecture will address some of these "special" considerations, and active audience participation will be a major part of this presentation.
